The purpose of this study was to explore the psychological transformation process of the primary school boarding students from the 921-earthquake disaster area and psychological reestablishment group. The subjects were six primary school boarding students. The subjects’ responses of their emotion, cognition, and behavior to the earthquake were collected by the researcher,then analyzed and interpreted the subjects’ psychological transformation process according to group data and correlated studies.
The researchers got the conclusions that there were five stages of the subjects’ psychological transformation process: (1) Stage I (psychological suffering): The subjects had negative emotions (such as fear), disordered behaviors, and suspected the meaning of life. (2) Stage II (premature): The life of disaster let the subjects understand their parents’ diligence and learned how to be independent. (3) Stage III (felling of loss): The subjects appreciated the care of their relatives, but they still had the felling of loss. (4) Stage IV (passing the sadness): After participating the reconstructing group, the subjects could adjust themselves gradually and had crisis consciousness of disaster. (5) Stage V (psychological reestablishment): The subjects could understand the positive meaning of earthquake from the self-help and interpersonal help, and they could think the events of reconstruction.
Based on the findings, the researchers submitted some suggestions for the reference of practical workers.
