災害生存者を対象とした研究の傾向と災害耐性向上のための課題

Abstract

The present paper proposes future possible directions for research in psychological intervention to raise the level of psychological preparedness for (natural) disaster. Based on past literature, the research trends in psychological study on post-disaster problems was reviewed to provide information and explanation on several socio-psychological phenomena arising from acute stress caused by disasters. Along with classical explanations on these phenomena, the authors theoretically explained the situation under disaster stress. The low level of psychological help-seeking in post-disaster society was also raised as a question and considered from psychological perspectives of help-seeking behaviour, and possible directions for future intervention were discussed. Keywords: post‐disaster, psychological preparation, resilience
