Technological disaster—Survival and bereavement

An epidemiological study of technological disasters in China

“…International studies on post-TDs mental health have shown deleterious psychological effects of technological catastrophes that appear to be longer-lasting than natural disasters [11].

Para Hodgkinson (1989), no entanto, o desastre tecnológico é apresentado como um desastre provocado pelo homem, ou seja, um fenômeno da sociedade tecnológica. Tanto os desastres naturais quanto os tecnológicos apresentam diferenças para o autor, mesmo que tais desastres possam envolver simultaneamente fenômenos da natureza e erro humano.…”

“…A outra diferença refere-se ao controle, pois o desastre natural não é visto como algo controlável. Já o desastre tecnológico é tido como uma perda de controle do homem (HODGKINSON, 1989).…”
