Abstract

Following hurricane Katrina, many New Orleanians evacuated to Baton Rouge. Despite a significant outpouring of assistance, not everyone engaged in pro-social behaviors during this time. Some felt an obligation to help yet failed to donate their time to assist those displaced by the storm. Prior studies have examined pro-social behavior following a natural disaster as a product of self or collective efficacy. Analyzing data from interviews with Baton Rouge area residents two months after Katrina, we explore the role of self and collective efficacy on helping activity and volunteering in shelters for evacuees. This study advances the extant literature by exploring an interactive model to provide a more accurate assessment of how self and collective efficacy work contemporaneously to influence different forms of pro-social behavior. Results suggest the likelihood of helping others or volunteering after a disaster are, in part, dependent on a nuanced combination of self and collective efficacy.

评估自我效能和集体效能对自然灾害后志愿服务的影响

卡特里娜飓风过后，许多新奥尔良人撤离到巴吞鲁日。尽管人们纷纷伸出援助之手，但在此期间，并非每个人都有亲社会行为。有些人觉得自己有义务提供帮助，但却没有捐出自己的时间来帮助那些因风暴而流离失所的人。先前的研究将自然灾害后的亲社会行为视为自我或集体效能的产物。通过分析卡特里娜飓风过后两个月对巴吞鲁日地区居民的访谈数据，我们探讨了自我效能感和集体效能感对帮助活动和在避难所志愿服务的影响。本研究通过探索互动模型，对自我效能感和集体效能感如何同时影响不同形式的亲社会行为进行了更准确的评估，从而推动了现有文献的发展。研究结果表明，灾后帮助他人或志愿服务的可能性在一定程度上取决于自我效能感和集体效能感的细微结合。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction (IJDRR) is the journal for researchers, policymakers and practitioners across diverse disciplines: earth sciences and their implications; environmental sciences; engineering; urban studies; geography; and the social sciences. IJDRR publishes fundamental and applied research, critical reviews, policy papers and case studies with a particular focus on multi-disciplinary research that aims to reduce the impact of natural, technological, social and intentional disasters. IJDRR stimulates exchange of ideas and knowledge transfer on disaster research, mitigation, adaptation, prevention and risk reduction at all geographical scales: local, national and international. Key topics:- -multifaceted disaster and cascading disasters -the development of disaster risk reduction strategies and techniques -discussion and development of effective warning and educational systems for risk management at all levels -disasters associated with climate change -vulnerability analysis and vulnerability trends -emerging risks -resilience against disasters. The journal particularly encourages papers that approach risk from a multi-disciplinary perspective.
