There are a lot of reasons why people prep for disasters, but there's one reason that's far more popular than the others. What people fear most when they think about what would happen if society collapsed, isn't hunger, disease, or exposure. They fear what other people might do to them when the chips are down.They worry that members of their community might hurt or kill them to survive.

And though most preppers won't admit it, I think most of us fear what we might be capable of in a bad situation. We don't have to find out if we have enough food stocked up in our pantries.

However, it should be noted that there is an alternate view on what most people will do if society collapses.
