严重急性呼吸综合征(SARS)最早报告于中国,并蔓延至29个地区,影响全球8000多人。对一般市民来说,严重急性呼吸系统综合症对心理的影响可能比对身体健康的危害更大。本文提出了在SARS暴发期间,心理因素对人们的认知、情感和行为反应的影响。《华尔街日报》本期特刊的多篇论文揭示了人们在SARS疫情期间的反应:人们的一般应对方式可能与他们在疫情爆发期间的健康行为有关。对SARS的认知存在明显的文化差异,个人的感知风格可能影响了他们应对疫情的能力。个人应对与SARS相关的压力事件的方式与他们处理日常压力的惯常做法不同。采取预防措施的个人差异与对几种社会认知偏见的明显易感性有关。
Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) was first reported in China, and spread to 29 regions, affecting over 8000 people worldwide. For the general public, the psychological impact of SARS may have been greater than the physical health danger of the disease. The present paper proposes the influence of psychological factors on people's cognitive, affective, and behavioral responses during the SARS outbreak. The various papers in this special issue of the Journal reveal how people have reacted during the SARS outbreak: People's general coping styles may be related to their health behavior during the outbreak. Cultural differences were evident in the perception of SARS, and individuals' perceptual styles may have influenced their ability to cope with the outbreak. The way in which individuals coped with SARS-related stressful events was different from their usual practices of managing daily stress. Individual differences in the adoption of preventive measures were related to the distinct susceptibility to several social-cognitive biases.
