Abstract: The current study aimed to investigate the relationship between local residents’ psychosocial state and satisfaction with government among devastated areas of 5·12 Sichuan Earthquake using the framework of psychological harmony. A convenience sample of 1385 local residents from slightly, moderately, and extremely devastated areas responded to the survey. Results of hierarchical regression indicated that although satisfaction with local and central government was significantly related to psychological harmony, satisfaction with local government was a stronger predictor. In addition, satisfaction with local government partially mediated the effect of satisfaction with central government on psychological harmony. Findings were discussed concerning their practical implications for the different roles that central and local governments should play
