为了确定自然灾害对青少年的影响，灾难发生一年后，对遭受雨果飓风影响的 1482 名南卡罗来纳州高中生进行了调查。受试者完成了一份自填问卷，测量雨果暴露、非暴力和暴力生活事件、社会支持、自我效能和心理困扰。结果显示，学生们报告的飓风暴露程度极低，心理困扰变量接近国家标准。随着暴露的增加，青少年报告的心理困扰症状也随之增加；即愤怒、抑郁、焦虑和整体精神困扰。女性和白人学生经历了更高程度的痛苦。在大多数情况下，其他有压力的生活事件至少与遭受飓风一样是心理困扰的有力预测因素。自我效能和社会支持具有保护作用。
To ascertain the effects of a natural disaster on adolescents, 1482 South Carolina high school students who were exposed to Hurricane Hugo were surveyed 1 year after the disaster. Subjects completed a self-administered questionnaire measuring Hugo exposure, nonviolent and violent life events, social support, self-efficacy, and psychological distress. Results showed that the students reported minimal exposure to the hurricane and psychological distress variables approximated national norms. As exposure increased, adolescents reported increased symptoms of psychological distress; i.e., anger, depression, anxiety, and global mental distress. Females and white students experienced higher levels of distress. In most cases, other stressful life events were at least as strong a predictor of psychological distress as was exposure to the hurricane. Self-efficacy and social support were protective.
