Weather and climate disasters are increasing threats to the survival of human communities across the globe. The aim of this descriptive analysis was to analyze the ways by which the citizens of Puerto Rico responded to Hurricane Maria’s landfall. For this purpose, we used the elaborated account of the metacontingency (Houmanfar, Rodrigues, & Ward, 2010, “Emergence & Metacontingency: Points of Contact and Departure,” Behavior and Social Issues, 19, 78–103) to analyze the community’s process of recovery and adaptation. At the group level, we identified the cultural milieu (i.e., contextual variables), as well as the emerging macrocontingencies and metacontingencies in Puerto Rico’s recovery process. The results of this analysis have theoretical and applied implications. At the theoretical level, the 5-term metacontingency effectively orients scientific work toward the identification of the psychological and sociological factors involved in the human response to natural disasters. At the applied level, identifying these factors can potentially inform future weather disaster–related preventive recovery and adaptive measures and procedures.

天气灾害对社区恢复力影响的描述性分析

天气和气候灾害对全球人类社区的生存构成越来越大的威胁。这种描述性分析的目的是分析波多黎各公民对飓风玛丽亚登陆的反应方式。为此,我们使用了对元偶然性的详细说明(Houmanfar、Rodrigues 和 Ward,2010,“Emergence & Metacontingency: Points of Contact and Departure”,Behavior and Social Issues, 19, 78–103)来分析社区的过程恢复和适应。在小组层面,我们确定了文化环境(即背景变量),以及波多黎各恢复过程中出现的宏观意外事件和元意外事件。该分析的结果具有理论和应用意义。在理论层面,5 项元偶然性有效地将科学工作导向识别人类对自然灾害的反应所涉及的心理和社会学因素。在应用层面,确定这些因素可能会为未来与天气灾害相关的预防性恢复和适应措施和程序提供信息。
