这项研究的目的是开发一个模型来预测禽流感爆发后的情绪和行为反应。参与者是289名大学生，年龄、收入和种族背景各不相同。他们被展示了描述影响他们社区的禽流感爆发的情景。他们报告了他们预期的情绪反应(积极情绪、消极情绪)和行为反应(帮助、回避、牺牲、非法行为)，就像这些情景真的发生了一样。他们还根据个体差异进行了评估，以预测他们的反应。参与者对禽流感只有一定程度的熟悉，并预计会对疫情做出强烈的情绪和行为反应。通径分析被用来测试一个预测反应的模型。该模型表明，年龄、性别、收入、灵性、韧性和神经质与反应有关。灵性、韧性和收入预示着较好的情绪反应，神经质和女性性别预测较差的情绪反应。年龄、性别、收入和灵性对行为有直接影响。情绪反应与每种行为直接相关，并在个体差异效应中起中介作用。在预测禽流感爆发后的行为时，情绪反应可能很重要，而个人特征可能会预测情绪和行为反应。
The purpose of this study was to develop a model to predict the emotional and behavioral responses to an avian flu outbreak. The participants were 289 university students ranging in age, income, and ethnic backgrounds. They were presented with scenarios describing avian flu outbreaks affecting their community. They reported their anticipated emotional responses (positive emotion, negative emotion) and behavioral responses (helping, avoidance, sacrifice, illegal behavior) as if the scenarios were actually occurring. They also were assessed on individual differences expected to predict their responses. Participants were only modestly familiar with the avian flu and anticipated strong emotional and behavioral responses to an outbreak. Path analyses were conducted to test a model for predicting responses. The model showed that age, sex, income, spirituality, resilience, and neuroticism were related to responses. Spirituality, resilience, and income predicted better emotional responses, and neuroticism and female sex predicted worse emotional responses. Age, sex, income, and spirituality had direct effects on behavior. The emotional responses were directly related to each behavior and mediated the effects of individual differences. Emotional responses may be important in predicting behavior after an outbreak of avian flu, and personal characteristics may predict both emotional and behavioral responses.
