Disasters cause sweeping damage, hardship, and loss of life. In this article, we first consider the dominant psychological approach to disasters its narrow focus on psychopathology (e.g., posttraumatic stress disorder). We then review research a broader that has identified heterogeneous, highly replicable trajectories outcome, most common being stable mental health or resilience. trajectory for different types disasters, including COVID-19 pandemic. Next, correlates resilience note their paradoxically limited ability predict future resilient outcomes. Research using machine learning algorithms improved prediction but not yet illuminated mechanism behind adaptation. To end, propose more direct explanation based motivational mechanistic components regulatory flexibility. Finally, how might leverage new computational approaches better capture flexibility in real time.

Results: 310 participated follow-up evaluation (Time 2; July 2021–July 2022). 2, cut-offs were significantly lower (p < 0.001) than at for all scales (23% vs. 48% GHQ-12; 11% 25% IES-R; 15% 23% GAD-7). Risk psychological impairment being nurse (IES-R: OR 4.72, 95% CI 1.71–13.0; GAD-7: 2.82, 1.44–7.17), assistant 6.76, 1.30–35.1), or having had infected family member (GHQ-12: 1.95, 1.01–3.83).

Multivariable regression was association between health, adjusting potential confounders. Bias-corrected accelerated bootstrap confidence intervals (CIs) used.Results: significantly worse psychopathology (β, 1.51; 95% CI, 0.07–2.96) greater distress 1.49; 0.28–2.70).
