内容摘要:
危机管理中最具挑战性的部分可能是公民、家庭和社区在面对灾难时如何保持复原力。近年来,专业人士主张危机中以力量为基础的管理和领导力发展,这一主张需要领导者更好地理解人类力量在混乱状态中对促进复原力和创伤后应激障碍增长起到的作用。本次沙龙将呈现心理学和管理学两个不同领域的重要框架和理论,大部分基于Amy教授的个人经验和集体创伤研究成果模型。首先,从两种类型灾难和复原力研究趋势来介绍一种研究复原力的四元综合模型;之后,概述与灾难、危机、精神创伤后两种类型的迅速恢复能力的成果有关的健康的两种形式;然后,回顾积极心理学创始人Christopher Peterson博士(Amy教授的导师)的生平以及他在提升性格优势和人类美德方面有影响力的工作。最后,介绍与管理有关的社区复原能力研究的话题和差距。

Psychological Research of Human Strength: Implications for Strength-based Leadership in Crisis
Abstract: One of the most challenging part in crisis or emergency management may lie in how to maintain resilience of citizens, families, and communities that are facing adversity. In recent years, professionals have advocated strength-based management and leadership development in crisis. This call necessitates the need for leaders to better understand the role of human strengths in order to facilitate resilience and posttraumatic growth in chaos. This presentation will present an overview of important framework and theories underlying this meeting point between two different areas—psychology and management, partly based on Prof. Ai’s own experiences and outcome models in studying collective trauma and. First, she will introduce a four-element integrative model of studying Resiliencefollowing two types of adversity and the trend of resilient research. Next, she will outline two forms of Wellbeing that are associated with two types of resilient outcomes in the aftermath of disasters, crises, and trauma. Then, in honor of her passing mentor, Christopher Peterson, PhD, a founder of Positive Psychology. She will reflect on his life and influential work in promoting character strengths and human virtues that offer scientific measures for predictors of resilience. Finally, she will return to the topic and gap of community resilience research in relation to management.
