描述（改编自申请人摘要）：本提案旨在 继续研究灾后恢复的社会和文化动力 这是从研究安德鲁飓风的影响开始的， 由拉丁美洲人、非西班牙裔白人和非西班牙裔黑人平等组成。 作为该研究的一部分，一种具有已知心理测量学的西班牙语工具， 物业开发。 拟议研究的目标是进行一项 通过在墨西哥灾难后收集数据进行真正的跨文化研究 可以与飓风过后在美国收集的数据进行比较 安德鲁 墨西哥提供了一个惊人的不同的文化和经济 这一背景将使人们深入了解发展中国家的灾难恢复 国家 虽然大多数灾害发生在发展中国家， 世界上，很少有研究是在那里进行的。 拟议项目分四个阶段进行。 在第一阶段， 过去的灾难将提供民族志数据的意义， 要研究的结构的表现形式。 在第二阶段，样品 墨西哥3个城市的代表将提供流行病学数据， 其他创伤、创伤后应激障碍、抑郁症状和神经系统。 在第三阶段，受害者 最近在墨西哥发生的一场灾难将提供有关这一过程的比较数据 灾难恢复。 在第四阶段，同样的参与者将提供 关于灾难恢复时间的纵向数据。 社交、 心理和物质资源被假设为调解 创伤暴露的严重程度与精神病学结果之间的关系。 一个 提出了创伤研究的生态框架，区分了 在坚不可摧的资源之间，那些不受创伤影响的资源， 如社会阶层;脆弱资源，那些可能被破坏的资源， 创伤，如评估的社会、心理和物质资源;以及 紧急资源，那些在应对创伤时出现的资源，如收到的 社会支持，应对努力和财政援助，以保护或 取代脆弱的资源。 研究小组结合了压力和创伤，拉丁美洲文化， 墨西哥社会。 临床心理学、社会心理学 心理学、社区心理学、社会人类学和医学 人类学有代表性。 该团队的两名成员此前 在墨西哥进行了调查研究。 之间的合作关系 瓜达拉哈拉大学的申请组织和研究人员 以及位于瓦哈卡的国家人类学研究所的研究人员 确立了习

DESCRIPTION (Adapted from applicant's abstract): This proposal is to continue research into the social and cultural dynamics of disaster recovery that was begun by studying the effects of Hurricane Andrew in a sample composed equally of Latinos, non-Hispanic Whites, and non-Hispanic Blacks. As part of that study, a Spanish language instrument with known psychometric properties was developed. The goal of the proposed study is to conduct a truly cross-cultural study by collecting data in Mexico following a disaster that can be compared to the data collected in the U.S. following Hurricane Andrew. Mexico provides a strikingly different cultural and economic context that will yield insights into disaster recovery in developing countries. Although the majority of disasters occur in the developing world, very little of the research has been situated there. The proposed project takes place in four phases. In Phase 1, survivors of past disasters will provide ethnographic data on the meaning and manifestation of the constructs to be studied. In Phase 2, samples representative of 3 cities in Mexico will provide epidemiologic data on other trauma, PTSD, depressive symptoms, and nervios. In Phase 3, victims of a recent disaster in Mexico will provide comparative data on the process of disaster recovery. In Phase 4, the same participants will provide longitudinal data on the timing of disaster recovery. Social, psychological, and material resources are hypothesized to mediate the relation between severity of trauma exposure and psychiatric outcomes. An ecological framework for the study of trauma is proposed that differentiates between invulnerable resources, those impervious to the effects of trauma, such as social class; vulnerable resources, those potentially damaged by trauma, such as appraised social, psychological, and material resources; and emergent resources, those that arise in response to trauma, such as received social support, coping efforts, and financial aid that serve to protect or replace the vulnerable resources. The research team combines expertise in stress and trauma, Latino culture, and Mexican society. The disciplines of clinical psychology, social psychology, community psychology, social anthropology, and medical anthropology are represented. Two members of the team have previously conducted survey research in Mexico. Collaborative relationships between the applicant organization and researchers at the University of Guadalajara and at the National Institute of Anthropology in Oaxaca have been established.
