Abstract

In addition to the direct psychological effects of disaster stressors, anticipation of stress can itself be debilitating. We examined the relationship between the anticipated stress of handling the dead and gender and experience. Experienced persons had lower anticipated stress than inexperienced persons. Inexperienced, females had higher anticipated stress than inexperienced males; experienced males and females did not differ. Results provide support for an 'inoculation' theory of stress buffering in disaster workers.

摘要

除了灾难应激源的直接心理影响外，对应激的预期本身也可能使人衰弱。我们研究了处理尸体的预期应激与性别和经验之间的关系。有经验的人比没有经验的人预期应激更低。没有经验的女性比没有经验的男性预期应激更高；有经验的男性和女性没有差异。研究结果为灾难救援人员应激缓冲的“接种”理论提供了支持。
