This research examines the associations between Chinese cultural beliefs of adversity, income recovery, and psychological status among the Wenchuan earthquake survivors. The relationship between positive Chinese cultural beliefs of adversity and life satisfaction was also mediated by income recovery. This research highlighted the importance of examining both positive and negative aspects of psychological status among disaster survivors and adopting different methods to work with different aspects of their psychological status.
