The purpose of this study is to describe the emotional reactions of children from age two to fourteen, after they experience an earthquake.
Earthquakes are strong shakings that can cause big damages by destroying a child’s environment, school or home. It can also cause the loss of their family members. After an earthquake or any other type of natural disaster happens, a lot of emotional and behavior changes in children are reported.
The purpose of this study is to explore how children of different age groups experience the occurrence of a natural disaster (The 6.4 magnitude earthquake that occurred on November 2019 in Albania).
A total of 100 children participated in this study. 30% of them belong to the age group of 6-12, 35% belong to the age group 2-4 and the other 35% belong to the age group of 4-6.
The conclusions showed that different age groups had different reactions of the earthquake.
