“…In other words, the correlation between the two factors is possibly due to the existence of indirect effects, rather than the direct influence of the variables. For example, Grahn and Jaldell [37] have proved the link between flood risk perception and flood risk knowledge, and we discover that flood risk knowledge is closely related to protective coping behaviors. So, it believes that the relationship between flood risk perception and protective coping behaviors is not that straightforward.…”

The initial concept of flood control has gradually shifted to flood risk management which emphasizes more public participation. Therefore, understanding the public’s protective coping behavioral patterns to floods is significant, and can help improve the effectiveness of public participation and implementation of flood-mitigation measures. However, the quantitative effect of socio-demographic factors on flood risk perception and behaviors is not clear. In this study, the socio-demographic factors are included to explore the quantitative relationship with and the affect path to flood protective coping behaviors with socio-demographic factors are studied. Shenzhen City in China is chosen as the study area, which suffers frequent urban floods every year. Questionnaire surveys are conducted in five flood-prone communities there, and 339 valid questionnaires were collected. The correlations between flood risk perception, flood risk knowledge, flood risk attitude, socio-demographic factors, and protective coping behaviors are analyzed firstly. A structural equation model (SEM) about these factors is then established to verify the correctness of hypothetical paths and discover new paths. The results indicates that socio-demographic factors and flood risk perception do not have impacts on protective coping behaviors directly, but are mediated by flood risk knowledge and flood risk attitude. Flood risk attitude is an important factor that affects protective coping behaviors directly. Moreover, two affect paths to flood protective coping behaviors are proposed. The findings of Shenzhen city in this study can be extended to other cities with similar characteristics, providing support for conducting effective flood mitigation measures.

“…This explanation is supported by expressed willingness to help (mostly physically) during floods and recovery, that is, in a short‐term, but at the same time, it does not preclude high demand on governmental long‐term actions. Proving the conceptual relation between perceived self‐efficacy, the use of personal networks and the willingness to undertake short‐term FRM measures requires further evidence, however (Bubeck et al, 2012; Grahn & Jaldell, 2019). A possible explanation for self‐reliance is provided by expressed low confidence in currently completed flood risk reduction measures and disappointments about the previous governmental efforts.…”

The recent paradigm shift towards multilevel flood risk governance has raised discussions about the potential of different entities to undertake specific flood risk management (FRM) measures and about the effects of their efforts on other governance levels. Among the key questions being addressed are those related to the balance and possible inverse proportions between governmental efforts and motivation for individual action. In this paper, we use the results of a flood perception survey among individuals in two flood-prone Czech municipalities to reveal the discrepancies between the expectations of responsibilitysharing and the actual willingness for individual flood risk reduction.

“…PMT was originally designed to explain engagement in protective actions in relation to health-related behaviours (Figure 1) [7]. However, as noted earlier, the theory has since been applied to the explanation of other protective actions, including uptake of insurance [10][11][12][13] and the adoption of secure online behaviours [14,15]. PMT proposes that people protect themselves by making both a threat appraisal and a coping appraisal.…”

“…Firstly, we include risk propensity (sometimes referred to as risk preference or risk tolerance). Previous insurance research has shown that risk adverse individuals are more likely to purchase flood insurance [11,13], health insurance and life insurance [20,21]. This makes sense since insurance represents a means of risk mitigation.…”

Business disruption from cyberattacks is a growing concern, yet cyberinsurance uptake remains low. Using an online behavioural economics experiment with 4800 participants across four EU countries, this study tests a predictive model of cyberinsurance adoption, incorporating elements of Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) and the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) as well as factors in relation to risk propensity and price. During the experiment, participants were given the opportunity to purchase different cybersecurity measures and cyberinsurance products before performing an online task. Participants likelihood of suffering a cyberattack was dependent upon their adoption of cybersecurity measures and their behaviour during the online task. The consequences of any attack were dependent upon the participants insurance decisions. Structural equation modelling was applied and the model was further developed to include elements of the wider security ecosystem. The final model shows that all TPB factors, and response efficacy from the PMT, positively predicted adoption of premium cyberinsurance. Interestingly, adoption of cybersecurity measures was associated with safer behaviour online, contrary to concerns of “moral hazard”. The findings highlight the need to consider the larger cybersecurity ecosystem when designing interventions to increase adoption of cyberinsurance and/or promote more secure online behaviour.
