Reactions to Victims of the 1993 Mississippi Flood: The Political Psychology of Providing Disaster Relief

9321150 Skitka政府是否应该为那些选择居住在高风险地区（如洪泛平原或断层线附近）的人提供保险？什么时候，最终为政府援助买单的公众会认为政府援助是人道主义的，而不是鲁莽的？使用分布式正义的权变模型提供的框架（Skitka & Tetlock, 1992）。作者将探讨向1993年中西部洪水受害者提供帮助的意愿，作为受影响的社区或个人是否采取措施保护自己（例如，使用社区税收来建造堤坝，或者作为个人购买洪水保险）的函数。建议对美国大陆1,000名成年家庭成员进行随机数字拨号电话调查。据预测，人们将愿意立即提供人道主义援助，但帮助重建的意愿将随着美国经济的健康程度、责任归属和受访者的政治倾向而有所不同。＊＊＊

9321150 Skitka Should the government insure people who choose to live in high-risk areas such as in flood plains or near fault lines? When is government assistance perceived to be humanitarian versus foolhardy by the public who ultimately pays for it? Using the framework provided by the Contingency Model of Distributed Justice (Skitka & Tetlock, 1992). the author will explore willingness to provide help to victims of the Midwest floods of 1993 as a function of whether the affected communities or individuals took measures to protect themselves (e.g., used community tax dollars to build levees, or as individuals purchased flood insurance). A random-digit-dialed telephone survey of 1,000 adult members of households in the continental United States is proposed. It is predicted that people will be willing to provide immediate humanitarian assistance, but willingness to help rebuild will vary as a function of perceived health of the U.S. economy, attributions of responsibility, and political orientation of the respondent. ***
