How do people react in a pandemic
People react in a variety of ways, depending on the type of the event, the extent of the catastrophe and if it is something that is ongoing, or what have you.
This particular article was important to me because it outlined the five ways people react and the reasons why they do react in the manner that they do.
It firsts go into how people react and how they overeact. It is the period of adjustment that happens in this phase. They know what the situation is, they pause, a****s the situation and react accordingly. They overreact when reality has set in, they realize what has happened and can't wait to receive instructions -- they panic -- the initial panic individuals feel in an emergency or crisis situation. They will not remain calm so as to make sense of the situation until after sommeone has repeatedly informed them of what the first set of instructions are to be -- for the good of everyone concerned in the crisis.
The authors state that if peoploe overreact, it is better to do so in the beginning, rather than at the end.
Another stage individuals go through they described is denial. They replace denial with panic; denial will not allow them to feel the full affect of a real panic situation. The authors claim that it is needed to seduce individuals out of this stage into reality, for their good.
The last portion describes the 5 stages of reaction to a disaster - this is really interesting.
1.Self-preservation. The first stage is fear and initial anxiety. This is common and normal. People are afraid and will do what is necessary to save themselves.
2.Group-preservation. There is a sense that people step out and want to help one another.
3.Blame-setting. This is as it is -- individuals will look to who caused the situation. Some will step up and make up a scenario.
4.Justice Seeking - You've caused the blame on someone and now it is here where you want them to be punished for what they may have caused.
5.Renormalizing - At some point, most have calmed down, an a****sment has been made and individuals and groups will adapt to the threat.
We do not know how we will react in anyh particular event until it occurs. The best thing to do is to remain as calm as possible, await instructions, assist where needed, focus on what we can do now and not on what happened and go forward and adjust, accordingly.
