“…If the sizes of the “0” and “1” samples differ significantly, the final logistic regression model will be defective. According to the unbiased premise of the logistic regression model, the sizes of the “0” and “1” samples should be approximately equal [ 40 ]. Therefore, the sample number of “0” households has been extended to be almost the same as the “1” samples.…”

This research examined the ethnic differences in domestic recovery after the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake in China. In 2014, 866 valid questionnaires were collected. Han and Qiang & Zang households were analyzed using logistic regression to determine the factors influencing household recovery. It was found that the householder of the Qiang & Zang group played a more important role in household recovery. Different from the Han, females from Qiang & Zang households had negative attitudes on recovery, and Qiang & Zang households did not believe in the effectiveness of public donations for post-quake recovery. The study also showed that local workers in a household were more helpful for household recovery than were migrant workers in a household, regardless of ethnicity. Therefore, the government should create more local jobs in Han and Qiang & Zang households and pay more attention to women in Qiang households. Assistance should be established specifically for the psychological recovery of Qiang women and family recovery projects.

“…It is not possible today to re-examine the religious rituals of the Qiang as the Torrance family observed them in the 1920s, because current Qiang cultic practice is polytheistic (Yu 2004) and shamanistic (Oppitz 2004). The only scientific proof regarding their origins is DNA evidence showing that the Di-Qiang migrated from Euro-Asia during the Bronze Age (Gao et al 2015).…”

This article proposes that scholarship needs to take into account the intensely missional and practical nature of T.F. Torrance’s life and work. Using primary sources, it isolates mission to the Qiang in China as the area in which personal mission practice and theology coincide. It shows that Torrance’s theology of divine-human communion is rooted in the missio Dei, expressed in the nature of the perichoretic interrelations of the ontological Trinity and the mission of the economic Trinity in the world through the covenant history of Israel. This concept is illustrated practically in the mission history of the Qiang. A holistic concept of mission and theology is therefore at the heart of both Torrance’s biography and theology.
