Abstract

"The broad goal of this study was to assess the emotional, cognitive, psychosocial, and behavioral consequences of disasters (in this case, an earthquake) for victims, less directly affected neighbors, and disaster relief workers. Specifically, the present study was designed to examine the process of adaptation to disasters within a larger framework for studying individuals' responses to traumatic life changes."
