People are slightly less likely to flee an oncoming storm with a feminine name than a masculine one, a new study finds. But here is Victoria's se- cret: Hurricanes with fem- inine names turn out to be deadlier in the United States than their more ma- cho-sounding counterparts, probably because their mon- ikers make people underes- timate their danger, the re- searchers conclude. In fact, the two deadli- est storms to make land- fall in the U.S. since 1979, when male names were in- troduced, were named Ka- trina and Sandy. The study, which didn't in- volve any experts in meteo- rology or disaster science, is published Monday in the Pro- ceedingsoftheNationalAcad- emyofSciences.Atlantichur- ricaneseasonstartedSunday. In six different experi- ments, more than 1,000 test subjects told behavioral sci- entists at the University of Illinois in Champaign that theywere slightlymorelikely to evacuate from an oncom- ing storm named Christo- pher than Christina, Victor than Victoria, Alexander than Alexandra and Danny than Kate. They found fe- male names less frightening. "People are looking for meaning in any information that they receive," said study co-author Sharon Shavitt, a professor of marketing. "The name of the storm is provid- ing people with irrelevant in- formation that they actually use." Shavitt said both men and women rated female storms less scary and they both "are likely to believe that women are milder and less aggres- sive."Itfitswithotherresearch about gender perception dif- ferences,shesaid.Sandy,while itcanalsobeamalename,was chosen as a female name by weather authorities in 2012. Shavitt said it also ranked as rather feminine when she asked a small group of people to assess names on a mascu- line-feminine scale. Hurricane and disaster science experts, such as MIT's Kerry Emanuel, were skeptical at first. Then after more consideration some but not all found merit in the work, noting that it is more about psychology rather than physical science. Emanuel said confusion over whether 2012's Sandy was called a hurricane or post-tropical storm did cause confusion, so maybe names could make a dif- ference too. He joked that maybe names matter and perhaps meteorologists should start using scarier- sounding ones like Jack-the- Ripper or King Kong. But Susan Cutter, director oftheUniversityofSouthCar- olina's Hazards and Vulnera- bility Research Institute, dis- missed the idea that female- named storms are deadlier. She considered the study re- sults just coincidence. To examine past death rates, Shavitt and doctoral student Kiju Jung used Shavitt's scale that rated names from 1 to 11 in terms of masculinity and femininity. They looked at death rates going back to 1950 and found that, in general, the deadlier storms were more feminine. However, male-named storms weren't introduced until 1979. Only female names were used for storms from 1953 to 1978. From 1950 to 1952, military-style phonetic names (like Able, Baker, Charlie) were used and before that, there were no official names for storms. While since 1979, female storms have been deadlier — even with the outlier of Ka- trina removed — the sample size is so small that the trend from 1979 is not statistically significant. But it is signifi- cant when combined with data from 1950, Shavitt said. Also telling is that the amount of damages is not much different between male and female storms, indicat- ing the big difference is not the size of the storm but how people react to it, Jung said. This year's hurricane names will be Arthur, Ber- tha, Cristobal, Dolly, Ed- ouard, Fay, Gonzalo, Hanna, Isaias, Josephine, Kyle, Laura, Marco, Nana, Omar, Paulette, Rene, Sally, Teddy, Vicky and Wilfred. Jung and Shavitt said one name jumps out at them for danger: Dolly. It's considered highly feminine.
