In this study, the authors examined perceived benefits and costs of the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). Mixed accounts of benefits and costs, rather than exclusive accounts of only benefits or costs, were proposed to be characterized by nondefensiveness and enduring changes in psychosocial resources. Participants were 70 SARS recoverers, 59 family members of SARS recoverers, and 172 healthy adults residing in Hong Kong--a SARS-affected region. Results show that participants giving an exclusive account of benefits had higher levels of defensiveness than those giving a mixed account and those giving an exclusive account of costs. Only the perceived impact of benefits given in mixed accounts were related to future accruements in personal and social resources over an 18-month period.
在本研究中，作者考察了严重急性呼吸综合征（SARS）爆发的感知收益与成本。提出用收益与成本的混合描述，而非仅对收益或成本的单一描述，来表征无防御性以及心理社会资源的持久变化。参与者包括70名SARS康复者、59名SARS康复者的家庭成员以及172名居住在香港这个受SARS影响地区的健康成年人。结果显示，仅给出收益单一描述的参与者比给出混合描述和仅给出成本单一描述的参与者具有更高的防御性水平。在18个月的时间里，只有混合描述中所感知到的收益影响与个人和社会资源的未来积累相关。
