About
This dataset captures individuals' perceptions and emotional responses to seismic events, focusing specifically on activity in the Campi Flegrei area near Naples, Italy, between October 31 and November 16, 2023. The study, conducted by Antonio Cola and Rosario Urso, master's degree holders from the University of Naples Federico II, investigates how various demographic groups perceive and react to these events. It aims to identify key elements of "Earthquake Stress" and observe differences in perception and response based on factors such as gender, employment status, income, marital status, and education level. This dataset offers valuable insights for authorities and organisations responsible for managing seismic emergencies, assisting in the development of improved communication and intervention strategies, and in designing post-earthquake psychological support programmes. It serves as a foundational resource for future research and interventions aimed at lessening the psychological impact of seismic events on affected populations.
