Mocellin Psicología gender Brazil Drought psychological responses This study of cumulative effects of drought in Northeast Brazil assessed the psychological responses (anxiety,emotional distress, and PTSD) of 102 individuals living in a city (Queimadas) in a drought-prone area compared tothe responses of 102 persons living in a drought-free control city (Areia) of comparable size. As predicted, thefindings revealed that residents in the drought area (Queimadas) had significantly higher levels of anxiety andemotional distress than residents in the no-drought area (Areia). In the drought area, women had significantlyhigher levels of anxiety and men had significantly higher levels of emotional distress than women and men,respectively, in the no-drought area. Likely because of their role vulnerability, women had significantly higher levelsof anxiety and emotional distress than men. As predicted, Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) was unrelatedto the drought. Although descriptive, the results provide baseline data for comparisons as the drought deepens andoffer insights and suggestions for further research into the psychological consequences of drought. 2004 artículo científico 0034-9690 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=28438111 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=284 Revista Interamericana de Psicología/Interamerican Journal of Psychology application/pdf Sociedad Interamericana de Psicología Revista Interamericana de Psicología/Interamerican Journal of Psychology (Puerto Rico) Num.1 Vol.38 |
