Abstract: An earthquake is the most destructive among natural disasters due to the damage it causes both materially and spiritually. About 20 million people living in 17 provinces and their districts were affected by 3 separate earthquakes of magnitude 7.7-7.6 and 6.4 experienced in Turkey on February 6-20, 2023. These settlements are of great importance for the country. As a result of this great disaster, more than 50 thousand of our people living in the region lost their lives, while the other individuals became victims of the earthquake by moving away from their previous lives due to their material and spiritual losses. The aim of our research is to provide an examination of the behavioral tendencies of people who are earthquake victims. Within the scope of this purpose, we compared personality sub-dimensions, dominant intelligence types and preferred communication channels with individuals who were not earthquake victims to provide a holistic view of people's behavioral tendencies. We obtained the data of the study from 1026 people (417 earthquake victims, 609 non-earthquake victims) reached via the Internet through the ‘Behavioral Adaptation Analysis Scale’ developed by Aglar and Dilci (2022). According to the findings of the study, we found that people who were earthquake victims had lower scores in the thinking, violent tendency, and neurotic sub-dimensions of personality, while they had higher scores in the responsibility, justice, and communication sub-dimensions of personality. In the intelligence dimensions, we found that earthquake victims have lower scores in visual/spatial, naturalistic, and bodily/kinesthetic sub-dimensions. In relation to communication channels, we observed that earthquake victims have lower scores in auditory, visual, and tactile sub-dimensions compared to other individuals. According to the findings of the research, to better help individuals who are earthquake victims, we recommend conducting studies that improve the visual/ spatial, naturalistic, and bodily/kinesthetic, communication channel auditory and visual sub-dimensions of thought from personality sub-dimensions, intelligence type sub-dimensions.
