The intent of this research project was to collect data from individuals in Vina Vieja, Peru, who experienced a devastating earthquake in 2007 and two subsequent earthquakes in 2010. Collected in June 2010, these data for 35 individuals were analyzed using independent sample t tests and qualitative theme analysis. When added to findings from a previous study of Hurricane Katrina survivors in 2006, the present research about the Peruvian experience in Vina Vieja fills a conceptual gap pertaining to understanding factors that predict resiliency among survivors of natural disasters. It is part of an ongoing interdisciplinary research project that seeks to understand how resilience is experienced within and across cultures and to create a conceptual framework for resilience.
