1989年雨果飓风后，对南卡罗来纳州所有县1975年至1997年的结婚率、出生率和离婚率的变化进行了前瞻性研究。压力研究和对经济状况的研究表明，飓风过后，受灾县的结婚和生育率将下降，离婚率将上升。依恋理论认为，飓风过后，结婚和生育会增加，离婚会减少。时间序列分析表明，飓风过后的一年，与该州其他22个县相比，24个县的结婚率、出生率和离婚率都有所上升。总的来说，结果表明，一个危及生命的事件促使人们在他们的亲密关系中采取重大行动，改变了他们的生命历程。
Change in marriage, birth, and divorce rates following Hurricane Hugo in 1989 were examined prospectively from 1975 to 1997 for all counties in South Carolina. Stress research and research on economic circumstances suggested that marriages and births would decline and divorces would increase in affected counties after the hurricane. Attachment theory suggested that marriages and births would increase and divorces would decline after the hurricane. Time-series analysis indicated that the year following the hurricane, marriage, birth, and divorce rates increased in the 24 counties declared disaster areas compared with the 22 other counties in the state. Taken together, the results suggested that a life-threatening event motivated people to take significant action in their close relationships that altered their life course.
