Examining the influence of social media cues and platform perceptions on fake news detection
This study investigates how source credibility, collective social endorsement, and users’ perceptions of Twitter's helpfulness for news consumption influence fake news detection on social media. We conducted a 2 (Veracity: real vs. fake) × 2 (Source Credibility: credible vs. non-credible) × 2 (Collective Social Endorsement: low vs. high) online experiment (N = 271). Results revealed a truth bias, with participants judging 60% of posts as real. Pa…
Redrawing Risks
The National Weather Service and other weather industry partners increasingly use Hurricane Threats and Impacts (HTI) graphics to communicate the breadth of hazards and impacts associated with tropical cyclones. However, HTI graphics are often poorly designed and difficult to access, inhibiting their wider use during high-impact tropical cyclone events. In this study, we evaluated HTI graphics with broadcast meteorologists and emergency managers …
Prevalence of Hearing Loss and Perceptions of Hearing Health and Protection among Florida Firefighters
Firefighters are exposed to extensive hazardous noise while on the job, both during routine tasks at the station and when responding to calls. However, little is known about firefighters' occupational noise hazards. This study employed mixed methods, including focus groups, a survey, and audiometric testing, to identify sources of noise in the firefighters' work environment, determine hearing protective strategies, discern firefighters' perceptio…
Monitoring Occupational Noise Exposure in Firefighters Using the Apple Watch
Occupational noise exposure and hearing loss are prominent in the fire service. Firefighters are routinely exposed to hazardous levels of noise arising from the tools and equipment they use, from sirens and alarm tones to the emergency response vehicles they drive. The present study utilized the Apple Watch to continuously measure environmental noise levels for on-duty firefighters. Participants included 15 firefighters from the metropolitan Sout…

Subclinical Hearing Deficits in Noise-Exposed Firefighters
Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is the most prevalent occupational disease in the world and firefighters are at increased risk of NIHL due to their frequent exposure to hazardous levels of noise during service. Adverse effects of NIHL include acceleration of age-related hearing loss and an increased risk of cognitive decline. A critical challenge in addressing NIHL is the delayed clinical presentation of symptoms and lack of sensitive tools for…
Can We Stop the Spread of False Information on Vaccination? How Online Comments on Vaccination News Affect Readers’ Credibility Assessments and Sharing Behaviors
This study used a 2 (type of news: fake vs. real) × 2 (presence of negative user comments: yes vs. no) × 2 (presence of positive user comments: yes vs. no) between-subjects experimental design to examine the differences in perceived news credibility and sharing intention between fake news and real news on vaccination. Fake news was found to generate a lower level of perceived credibility than real news, which subsequently decreased news sharing i…
Hurricane Risk Communication
Increasingly, the risk assessment community has recognized the social and cultural aspects of vulnerability to hurricanes and other hazards that impact planning and public communication. How individuals and communities understand and react to natural hazard risk communications can be driven by a number of different cognitive, cultural, economic, and political factors. The social sciences have seen an increased focus over the last decade on studyi…
