Abstract:The suddenness and destructiveness of earthquake disasters pose severe challenges to emergency response systems.Traditional drill models,lacking a behavioural science perspective,result in low conversion rates of self-rescue skills,failing to meet the modernisation requirements of the national emergency management system.Based on the theory of protective motivation and the theory of planned behavior,this study designed a questionnaire and collected 248 valid responses,identifying four self-rescue behavior patterns:precise executors,mechanical followers,experience-misguided individuals,and incapacitated panic-stricken individuals.The study proposed targeted optimization strategies,including designing advanced training programs,establishing a decentralized training system,addressing cognitive rigidity,and overcoming the mind-body decoupling dilemma,so as to facilitate a transition from standardized drills to precision-oriented training.
