本文分析了黑白灾民在自然灾害中的恢复情况。这些数据是在1982年4月德克萨斯州巴黎发生龙卷风后收集的，龙卷风摧毁或损坏了1500多所房屋和公寓。在灾难发生七个月后，对219名黑人受害者和212名白人受害者进行了抽样调查，收集了关于他们的损失、接受的援助、心理社会影响和恢复的约178个项目的信息。判别函数分析用于选择一组自变量，这些自变量预测黑人和白人受害者的康复水平，沿着康复的两个维度，情感和经济复苏。两组受害者康复的决定因素不同，涉及损失、心理社会影响、援助利用和社会支持等方面的差异，而不是人口或社会经济因素。
This paper presents an analysis of recovery from natural disaster of black and white disaster victims. The data were gathered in Paris, Texas following a tornado in that town in April, 1982 which destroyed or damaged over 1500 houses and apartments. A sample of 219 black victims and 212 white victims were interviewed seven months after the disaster, with information being gathered on some 178 items pertaining to their losses, aid received, psychosocial impacts and recovery. Discriminant function analysis is used to select sets of independent variables that predict recovery levels for black and white victims along two dimensions of recovery, emotional and economic recovery. Differences in determinants of recovery between the two groups of victims involved variations in losses, psychosocial impacts, aid utilization and social support, but not demographic or socioeconomic factors.
