Disaster Promulgation and Collective Behaviors
Abstract
As mentioned previously, the actions or anxiety moods of others directly affect a person’s attitude, especially when the situation is ambiguous and difficult for an individual to assess. The observed actions of others may suggest the situation is more severe. Once an observable anxiety with somatic symptoms is initiated, it tends to be imitated by the population and become a social trend. In this chapter, we quantify the disaster induced possible collective anxiety and estimate population level social productivity and response efforts. We then discuss the application of the proposed models in examining the potential psychosocial effects of an infectious disease like SARS.
