This study evaluated children's symptoms 3 and 9 months after the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, and the relationship between parent and child reactions when only the children had been in the building. Nine children who had been trapped in an elevator, 13 who had been on the observation deck, and 27 controls completed the Posttraumatic Stress Reaction Index and a Fear Inventory. Parents completed these measures about the children and comparable measures about themselves. Exposed children reported posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and disaster-related fears; their parents reported experiencing PTSD symptoms. Only parents rated children's symptoms as decreasing significantly over time. Association between child symptoms and parent symptoms increased over time. Children's initial distress predicted parents' distress 9 months postdisaster.
本研究评估了1993年世贸中心爆炸事件发生后3个月和9个月时儿童的症状，以及在只有儿童身处大楼内的情况下亲子反应之间的关系。9名被困在电梯里的儿童、13名在观景台的儿童以及27名对照儿童完成了创伤后应激反应指数和恐惧量表。父母完成了关于孩子的这些测评以及关于他们自己的类似测评。暴露组儿童报告了创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）症状和与灾难相关的恐惧；他们的父母报告有PTSD症状体验。只有父母评定孩子的症状随时间显著减轻。儿童症状与父母症状之间的关联随时间增加。儿童最初的痛苦可预测灾难发生9个月后父母的痛苦。
