Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: The contingency theory of public relations relies heavily upon the concept of threat without fully developing the concept as well as its operationalization. The current study addresses this weakness through the exposition and initial testing of a theoretical model of threat appraisal based upon perceptions of situational demands and required organizational resources. Two key dimensions of threats in crises were proposed as threat type and duration, the effects of which were empirically tested on public relations professionals’ cognitive appraisal of threats, affective responses to threats and the stances taken in threat-embedded crisis situations. A Web-based experiment on 116 public relations practitioners was conducted using a 2 (external vs. internal threat type) x 2 (long-term vs. short-term threat duration) within-subject design. The findings revealed the main effects of threat type and threat duration on threat appraisal, emotional arousal and degrees of accommodation. Interaction effects indicated that external and long-term threat combination led to higher situational demands appraisal and more intensive emotional arousal.
