Abstract: (150 Views) |
Primary stressors are direct consequences of biological hazards (e.g. viruses, floods), while secondary stressors arise from pre-disaster living conditions and social arrangements (e.g. disease, problematic policies before the disaster) or from ineffective responses to extreme hazards. Secondary stressors can cause significant long-term harm to affected individuals, and are also tolerable and changeable. In this study, the relationship between secondary stressors, social identity processes, social support, and perceived stress and resilience was examined. The research method is descriptive-analytical and applied in terms of purpose. The library method and the survey method in the form of a questionnaire were used to collect data. SPSS software was used to analyze the data for a statistical population of 679,995 households in Rasht with a sample size of 384, and the Cohen test and correlation were used to analyze the data. Data analysis shows that secondary stressors are positively associated with perceived stress and negatively associated with resilience, even when controlling for the effects of primary stressors. Being female or having a low socioeconomic status is associated with greater exposure to secondary stressors, higher perceived stress, and lower resilience. Most importantly, social identity is positively associated with expected support and with increased resilience and lower perceived stress. However, none of gender, socioeconomic status, or social identity moderated the relationship between secondary stressors and perceived stress and resilience. Consequently, systemic reforms and the availability of social support play a very important role in reducing the effects of secondary stressors.
