Abstract

Since August 2021, large-scale power failure have occurred abroad for various reasons, including the imbalance between coal supply and demand, the pressure of dual control target of energy consumption, and safety operation problems of the power grid, which have negatively affected the national economy and social development. The study on the behavioral choices and psychological reactions of the public under large power outages is beneficial for the government to respond more scientifically to large power outages and mitigate their impacts. The results show that when the average duration of power outage increases, the public’s psychological state becomes more anxious and angrier, and their behavior is more inclined to actively seek solutions from relevant authorities. Moreover, there were significant differences in the psychological states and behaviors of different educational groups when power outages occurred. The public with a college education and below are more likely to complain, those with bachelor’s degrees tend to have no special reaction when a power outage occurs, those with master’s degrees tend to seek help from relevant departments, and those with doctoral degrees tend to solve the problem by their own and consult the government collectively.
