This paper reviews empirical research on the extent and nature of risks associated with dangerous tourist self-photography (selfies) and management responses. Global epidemiological studies have captured the extent of the problem, with studies recording 250+ media-reported deaths within the past decade. Nearly half occurred in natural environments, with key hazards being cliff edges, waterbodies, and wildlife.

Researchers exploring the nature of the phenomenon identify contextual factors along with technology-induced distractions, as risk factors in selfie-taking. Demographics also feature, with the majority of casualties being young males.

The literature points to management responses that relate to either the social or the risky nature of the phenomenon. The most prevalent are communication-related, ranging from education and awareness-raising to persuasive communication. Targeted communications that invoke social norms and innovative media are suggested for addressing the problem.

死于自拍照:与旅游和娱乐中的伤害/死亡相关的自我摄影研究述评

本文回顾了与危险的游客自拍(自拍)和管理响应相关的风险的程度和性质的实证研究。全球流行病学研究已经捕捉到的范围的问题,有研究记录在过去的十年内,超过250个媒体报道的死亡。近一半发生在自然环境中,主要危害是悬崖边缘,水体和野生生物。

研究这种现象性质的研究人员将情境因素以及技术引起的干扰分散为自拍照的风险因素。人口统计学特征也很突出,大多数伤亡者是年轻男性。

文献指出与现象的社会或风险性质相关的管理反应。最普遍的是与沟通有关的,从教育和提高认识到有说服力的沟通。建议使用有针对性的交流方式来激发社会规范和创新媒体,以解决该问题。
