This paper surveys the existent theoretical and research literature regarding the needs of preschool children in the context of disasters and terrorism with the aim of understanding (a) the consequences of such events for young children and (b) the main moderating variables influencing the event-consequence association to learn how to enhance their resilience.
Consequences include a variety of emotional, behavioral, and biological outcomes. Implications for refugee children are discussed. Main moderating variables were mother's sensitivity and mother's PTSD symptoms. Exposure to disasters and terrorism may have severe effects on the mental health and development among preschool children. Future research should explore the implications of different levels of exposure and the effects of moderating psychosocial and biological variables, including the parent-child triad, on the event-consequence relationship.
本文调查了关于灾难和恐怖主义背景下学龄前儿童需求的现有理论和研究文献，旨在了解：（a）此类事件对幼儿的影响；（b）影响事件与后果关联的主要调节变量，以学习如何增强他们的复原力。
后果包括各种情绪、行为和生物学方面的结果。文中讨论了对难民儿童的影响。主要调节变量是母亲的敏感性和母亲的创伤后应激障碍症状。接触灾难和恐怖主义可能对学龄前儿童的心理健康和发育产生严重影响。未来的研究应探讨不同接触程度的影响以及调节心理社会和生物学变量（包括亲子三元组）对事件与后果关系的作用。
