Abstract

This chapter investigates gender-based differences in information perception during crises, drawing on the survey data. Findings indicate that government and news media are regarded as highly reliable yet relatively low in perceived fairness, while healthcare professionals are evaluated as both reliable and fair compared to non-professionals. Respondents of both genders rely most heavily on immediate environments, particularly family and friends, though females place slightly greater emphasis on such sources. Across genders, the speed of information delivery is valued marginally more than accuracy, reflecting the urgency of decision-making under uncertainty. Policy preferences reveal a consistent prioritization of infection prevention over economic considerations, with only minimal variation between male and female respondents.
