Abstract: It's common that people have stress reaction after they experienced natural disaster.As time goes by, these reactions may disappear, or transform to posttraumatic growth, or deteriorate into PTSD and other psychological distresses.The process is affected by three kinds of factors:(1)pre-disaster factors, such as gender, age;(2)within-disaster factors, such as traumatic exposure;(3)post-disaster factors, such as social support, resilience.Based on the epidemiological risk-protective approach and proactive agentic model, the paper discusses the mechanism of the risk factors and protective factors in the post-disaster factors.Previous research is integrated and the implications for the future intervention and the prospect of the future research are analyzed.

Key words: natural disaster, posttraumatic growth(PTG), posttraumatic stress disorder(PTSD), risk factor model
