Abstract

This chapter presents the overall empirical results of individual behavior under emergency situations. It is evident that while information stimulation clearly influences home and information-gathering activities, it does not significantly affect outdoor activities. The information provided by the government, news media, non-professional individuals, family, and friends decreases home activities. Information from healthcare professionals is perceived desirable as a driver towards social compliance during the pandemic, where refraining from outing activities is required to avoid the spread of infection. Compared to the early stage of a pandemic with unknown severity and infectivity, in the pandemic’s acute stage, people reduce outing activities and increase information-gathering activities. Conversely, in the following convalescent stage, they increase outing activities and reduce home and information-gathering activities.
