HBiF IAFSS W12 - Decision-making and evacuation behaviour

SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEXT WEBINARS: https://forms.office.com/r/878uNLnYKf 10th of December, 2024 This is the twelfth event of a webinar series arranged by the permanent working group on Human Behaviour in Fires by the International Association for Fire Safety Science (IAFSS). People are not optimal decision makers. They are bound by the situation they are in, the available information, their individual personality traits as well as their psychological states. In emergencies, information is often incomplete, requiring individuals to make decisions under uncertainty and time pressure. This presentation will give a brief overview of how perception informs how people navigate the environment and how decision-making can be biased by factors in the environment and within individuals. Max Kinateder is a Research Officer at the National Research Council Canada and an adjunct faculty in cognitive science at Carleton University. He is a behavioral scientist interested in human behavior in emergency situations. Most of his research circles around questions on why and how people act in emergency situations such as building fires or wildfires. This includes questions on what determines if and when people decide to evacuate in an emergency and how people find their way to safety. What are the underlying psychological mechanisms of evacuation decision-making? What can we do to prepare building occupants and communities to evacuate efficiently when necessary? How can we design our built environment to afford safe egress to all? Max holds a Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Wuerzburg, Germany. 00:00 Introduction by Enrico Ronchi 03:30 Presentation by Max Kinateder 42:20 Open discussion
