This meta-analysis synthesizes research findings from 50 studies to assess the explanatory power of the reduced risk information seeking model (RISK). The results show that informational subjective norms have the largest effect size, followed by sufficiency threshold and current knowledge. This finding suggests that risk information seeking behavior is largely determined by social motivations. In addition, the relationships between current knowledge and seeking, as well as between sufficiency threshold and seeking, are stronger when a risk is viewed as personally relevant. Moreover, the relationship between current knowledge and seeking is stronger in studies where participants report higher risk perception.

“…In addition, on a 7-point scale (1 = never ; 7 = almost always ), respondents were asked to report how often they used each of the five sources from whom they received Olympic-related information during the Tokyo Games, including journalists/news organizations, strategic communicators (e.g., advertisers, PR specialists), family/friends/coworkers, sports community/interest groups, and search engine. All of the sources were developed referencing research in curation (Lai & Tang, 2021; Thorson & Wells, 2016).…”

“…Each curator has its own logic of pushing the content into individuals’ media environment. Such “curated flows,” in turn, facilitate media exposure (Lai & Tang, 2021; Thorson & Wells, 2016; Webster, 2017).…”

“…In addition, channel repertoire is a media structure that has long been used to explain TV viewing (Ferguson & Perse, 1993). Researchers suggest that even in today's multichannel environment, repertoire can still have a "confounded" impact on audience behavior (Lai & Tang, 2021;Webster, 2014). Moreover, Busbee (2021) suggested that the increasing streaming options may have led to declining TV viewership during the Tokyo Games.…”

This research empirically tested the Dynamic Model of Exposure by examining users’ multiplatform exposure during the Tokyo Olympic Games. Findings supported the model, suggesting that Olympics viewing was a dynamic process involving individual preferences and structures. Various preferences and structures combined to explain 37.7% of the variance in viewing the Olympics on television and 48.7% of Olympics viewing via digital streaming. Overall, endogenous preferences provided the largest predictive value, suggesting that pre-Olympic media routines had the most powerful influence on viewing this mega-event on both television and via digital streaming. Variables related to the COVID-19 pandemic showed no significant impact on those who watched the Tokyo Games.

“…For a quick and effective response to a disaster, the media play a critical role in communication between researchers, scientists, development of trust, and educating the public regarding the adoption of preventive measures [ [19] , [20] , [21] , [22] ]. Further, the media depiction of scientific issues increased the public's scientific knowledge and is associated with the development of individuals' trust in scientists [ [23] , [24] , [25] ].…”
