Fig. 2: Interactions between respondents’ risk perceptions and efficacy beliefs in influencing evacuation intentions.

Left panels: Matrices depicting mean evacuation intentions for respondents with different combinations of situation-related response efficacy and (a) self-efficacy, (c) perceived likelihood of getting hurt, (e) perceived severity at home, or (g) perceived likelihood of home affected. The background of each cell is colored on a yellow (low) to green (high) scale based on the value of mean evacuation intentions. The font for the numbers in each cell is colored gray (low) to black (high) based on the number of respondents with the variable combination represented by that cell, in other words, based on the N used to calculate that cell’s mean evacuation intentions; cells with N < 5 are left blank. Right panels: Box and whisker plots depicting the same data as in the left panels, to illustrate variability across respondents. Mean and median evacuation intentions, along with the interquartile range (IQR), whiskers representing 1.5 * IQR, and inner and outlier points, are shown for respondents with different combinations of situation-related response efficacy and (b) self-efficacy, (d) perceived likelihood of getting hurt, (f) perceived severity at home, or (h) perceived likelihood of home affected. For clarity, risk perceptions and efficacy beliefs are compacted from 7 to 4 categories.
