Methods and Insights on How to Explore Human Behavior in the Disaster Environment
Description
This chapter explores the research methodologies and insights currently used by and envisioned for the future research into human behavior in disaster environments and situations, from a behavioral economics viewpoint. This includes comparative and narrative analysis, experiments (field, laboratory, and natural), multivariate regression analysis, simulations, and the use of technology such as virtual reality. The chapter also explores a number of methods that have been in widespread use to understand individuals’ behavior and preferences within a disaster and some of the limitations and factors that have made them unsuitable for understanding behavior. These limitations include sample bias, missing data, small sample sizes, and a lack of predictive power.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
