This study examined adolescents' adjustment following the attacks of September 11, 2001 (9/11). A Web-based survey was administered 2 weeks and 7 months postattacks to a national sample of adolescents (N = 104). A randomly selected parent also completed a survey at the 7-month assessment. Although exposure to the attacks was indirect, over half the participants felt threatened. Adolescents' posttraumatic stress symptoms were associated with their acute stress symptoms, parental distress, parental coping advice, parental availability to discuss the attacks, and reports that 9/11-related discussions were unhelpful. Adolescents' distress symptoms were associated with a history of mental health problems, acute stress symptoms, and parental unavailability to discuss the attacks.
本研究调查了2001年9月11日袭击事件（9·11事件）后青少年的适应情况。在袭击事件发生两周和七个月后，对全国范围内的青少年样本（N = 104）进行了一项基于网络的调查。在七个月评估时，随机选择的一位家长也完成了一项调查。尽管对袭击事件的接触是间接的，但超过一半的参与者感到受到了威胁。青少年的创伤后应激症状与他们的急性应激症状、父母的痛苦、父母的应对建议、父母是否可随时讨论袭击事件，以及关于9·11相关讨论无帮助的报告有关。青少年的痛苦症状与心理健康问题史、急性应激症状以及父母无法讨论袭击事件有关。
