This study examined respondents' self-reported adoption of 16 hazard adjustments (preimpact actions to reduce danger to persons and property), their perceptions of those adjustments' attributes, and the correlations of those perceived attributes with respondents' demographic characteristics. The sample comprised 561 randomly selected residents from three cities in Southern California prone to high seismic risk and three cities from Western Washington prone to moderate seismic risks. The results show that the hazard adjustment perceptions were defined by hazard-related attributes and resource-related attributes. More significantly, the respondents had a significant degree of consensus in their ratings of those attributes and used them to differentiate among the hazard adjustments, as indicated by statistically significant differences among the hazard adjustment profiles. Finally, there were many significant correlations between respondents' demographic characteristics and the perceived characteristics of hazard adjustments, but there were few consistent patterns among these correlations.
本研究调查了受访者自我报告的16种灾害应对措施（减少人员和财产危险的震前行动）的采用情况、他们对这些应对措施属性的认知，以及这些认知属性与受访者人口特征的相关性。样本包括从南加州三个地震高危城市和华盛顿州西部三个地震中危城市随机选取的561名居民。结果表明，灾害应对措施认知由灾害相关属性和资源相关属性定义。更重要的是，受访者对这些属性的评分有显著的共识，并利用它们区分不同的灾害应对措施，灾害应对措施概况之间的统计显著差异表明了这一点。最后，受访者的人口特征与灾害应对措施的认知特征之间存在许多显著相关性，但这些相关性中几乎没有一致的模式。
