This paper reviews the evidence on the relationship between contact with media coverage of terrorist incidents and psychological outcomes in children and adolescents while tracing the evolution in research methodology.
Studies of recent events in the USA have moved from correlational cross-sectional studies examining primarily television coverage and posttraumatic stress reactions to longitudinal studies that address multiple media forms and a range of psychological outcomes including depression and anxiety. Studies of events in the USA-the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, the September 11 attacks, and the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing-and elsewhere have used increasingly sophisticated research methods to document a relationship between contact with various media forms and adverse psychological outcomes in children with different event exposures. Although adverse outcomes are associated with reports of greater contact with terrorism coverage in cross-sectional studies, there is insufficient evidence at this time to assume a causal relationship. Additional research is needed to investigate a host of issues such as newer media forms, high-risk populations, and contextual factors.
本文回顾了接触恐怖事件媒体报道与儿童和青少年心理结果之间关系的证据，同时追溯了研究方法的演变。
对美国近期事件的研究已经从主要研究电视报道和创伤后应激反应的相关横断面研究，发展到针对多种媒体形式和一系列心理结果（包括抑郁和焦虑）的纵向研究。对美国发生的事件（1995 年俄克拉荷马城爆炸案、9·11 袭击事件和 2013 年波士顿马拉松爆炸案）和其他地方的研究使用了越来越复杂的研究方法，记录了接触各种媒体形式与不同事件暴露儿童的不良心理结果之间的关系。虽然在横断面研究中，与接触恐怖主义报道的程度更大相关联的是不良结果，但目前还没有足够的证据可以假定存在因果关系。需要开展更多的研究来调查一系列问题，如新的媒体形式、高危人群和情境因素。
