This study examined: 1) the prevalence of negative beliefs related to terrorism and 2) whether these beliefs were related to distress and drinking. Respondents (N = 1453) in a five-wave longitudinal cohort study sampled from a United States university workplace were surveyed by mail between 1996 and 2003. Instruments assessed were: negative beliefs related to 9/11/01, distress (depression, anxiety, somatization, PTSD [post-traumatic stress disorder]), and drinking (frequency, quantity, escapist motives, binge drinking, drinking to intoxication, and problem-related drinking). Regression analyses examined relationships between beliefs and mental health. A sizable percentage of respondents experienced terrorism-related negative beliefs. Higher negative belief scores were related to greater distress and problematic drinking in 2003, controlling for sociodemographic variables and (in most cases) pre-9/11 distress and drinking. Study limitations were noted and future research was recommended.
1）与恐怖主义相关的负面信念的流行程度，以及 2）这些信念是否与痛苦和饮酒有关。该研究从美国一所大学的工作场所中抽取了一个 5 波纵向队列研究的受访者（N=1453），通过邮件在 1996 年至 2003 年间进行了调查。研究工具包括：与 9/11/01 相关的负面信念、痛苦（抑郁、焦虑、躯体化、创伤后应激障碍）和饮酒（频率、数量、逃避动机、狂饮、饮酒至醉酒和与问题相关的饮酒）。回归分析检验了信念与心理健康之间的关系。相当一部分受访者经历了与恐怖主义相关的负面信念。在控制社会人口变量以及（在大多数情况下）9/11 之前的痛苦和饮酒的情况下，较高的负面信念得分与 2003 年更大的痛苦和饮酒问题有关。研究局限性已被指出，并建议进行未来研究。
