英文摘要: This paper aimed to investigate emotional distress related to hazards (EDH) considering appraisals and personal resources from cognitive appraisal theory in a sample of Bucharest inhabitants periodically exposed to earthquakes (EQ). The sample consisted of 336 respondents (M = 33.71 years old, SD = 13.71, 64.6% females). The hierarchical regression model revealed that discomfort of living space, a personal resource, was the strongest predictor of EDH (β =.18, t(313) = 3.09, p <.01), closely followed by appraisals or risk perception variables: hazards anticipation (β =.17, t(316) = 2.11, p <.05) and negative EQ consequences (β =.13, t(316) = 2.28, p <.05). The overall model explained 17% of the variance of EDH. This study shows that the cognitive appraisal theory can be successfully used to explain the EDH of citizens living in an earthquake-prone city. Also, it emphasizes that earthquake-related factors can be relevant when discussing EDH levels of people in cities experiencing recurrent earthquakes. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature B.V.
