Terrorist attacks and their aftermath have had a powerful impact on children and their families. Media and television exposure of terrorist events throughout the world has increased during the past few years. There is increasing concern about the effects of this exposure on children who witness these violent images. To develop a proactive and strategic response to reactions of fear, clinicians, educators, and policy makers must understand the psychologic effects of media coverage of terrorism on children. Previous research has focused on media coverage of criminal violence and war. Recent studies have examined the effect of remote exposure of terrorist attacks and have shown a significant clinical impact on children and families.
恐怖袭击及其后果对儿童及其家庭产生了巨大影响。在过去几年里,全球媒体和电视对恐怖事件的曝光有所增加。人们越来越担心这种曝光对目睹这些暴力画面的儿童所产生的影响。为了对恐惧反应制定积极主动且具有战略性的应对措施,临床医生、教育工作者和政策制定者必须了解媒体对恐怖主义的报道对儿童的心理影响。此前的研究主要关注媒体对刑事暴力和战争的报道。最近的研究考察了对恐怖袭击的远距离接触所产生的影响,并表明其对儿童和家庭具有重大的临床影响。
