The method which researchers taken was mainly on quantitative research, qualitative is complementary, and used the results of focus group discussion as the basis of reference and correction according to a quantitative questionnaire item, so formed the order of the quantitative research after qualitative research methods focus groups. This study has two focus groups, including 25 participants; a total of 270 questionnaires were sent, recycling 253 valid samples (93.7%). The hypothesis of this study has three:1. The deeper of the participants " chartered seniority " the lower of growth after a disaster; 2. The elder the participants " Age " the lower growth after a disaster; 3. The higher of study participants " education level ", the lower growth after a disaster. Research were using different test methods for measurements between variables. The results after analysis showed that the number was majority in less than significant rather than relatively few persons of significant, which means the effects and growth of disasters have a considerable degree of stability and consistency for participants, and it may be because of the particularity of sample background, and it is within the same organization with the same service goals, same faith and spiritual leader under the same management system operation, after reducing the differences in form, the factors that influence the growth of the disaster can be mostly focused on personal factors. According to the results of the existing research materials, the researchers tried to additionally present many problems associated with the topic, in order to explore its meaning and reason which supplemented by personal experience long-term participant observation. The researchers were using standard regression analysis to find the prediction results between the three independent variables of " chartered seniority ", " education level ", " Age " and the dependent variable, and have predictive power on the " serving others " and " Psychological Empowerment " two items, β values of standardized regression coefficients of " chartered Seniority ", " education level " are positive, β values of standardized regression coefficients of " Age " are negative. The result puts forward to two explanations: on one hand, the deeper of chartered seniority, the higher level of education, the younger of age, the greater the degree of " serving others " affected by disasters, and the higher demand of " Psychological Empowerment " ; on the other hand, more shallow the chartered seniority, the lower level of education, the older of age, the smaller of degree of " serving others " affected by disasters, and the smaller demand of " Psychological Empowerment ". Finally, according to the results of the study , we put forward the following advices: 1.Stimulate personal positive psychological effect through altruistic behavior, and construct an effective network of resources; 2. Gather force for good, leveraging the power, pursue sustainable; 3. According to two projects of " serving others " and " Psychological Empowerment " make specific recommendations as an important issue to consider for future research.
