在12，18和24个月后，飓风雨果，831名成年人接受了采访，他们的灾害相关的压力和目前的心理状态。这项研究的目的是评估年龄是否影响一个人对灾后压力的脆弱性，并评估以前用于解释年龄差异的四种不同的灾后恢复观点。回归分析表明，灾难暴露有实质性的和普遍的心理影响。分析还揭示了灾害暴露和年龄之间的曲线相互作用。年轻人在没有灾难的情况下表现出最大的痛苦，但中年人在灾难面前也表现出最大的痛苦。不同的暴露，资源和接种都未能解释这些差异，但是，负担的角度有相当大的解释力。
At 12,18, and 24 months after Hurricane Hugo, 831 adults were interviewed regarding their disaster-related stressors and present psychological state. The study's purposes were to assess whether age influenced one's vulnerability to postdisaster stress and to evaluate four different perspectives on disaster recovery that have been previously used to explain age differences. Regression analyses demonstrated that disaster exposure had substantial and pervasive psychological effects. The analyses also revealed a curvilinear interaction between disaster exposure and age. Younger people exhibited the most distress in the absence of disaster, but middle-aged people did so in its presence. Differential exposure, resources, and inoculation all failed to explain these differences; however, the burden perspective had considerable explanatory power.
