Abstract

Early research on psychological effects of viewing disaster media found negative outcomes associated with disaster media viewing. Research has not yet identified the role uncertainty reduction, personality factors, trauma history, and political affiliation has on viewing disaster media. Stepwise multiple linear regressions were conducted for each measure of media viewing.
