A modified version of the Revised Fear Survey Schedule for Children was administered to 865 Israeli Jewish and Israeli Bedouin children, 8-12 yr-old. Consistent with former studies, there was an age-related decline in fears and females reported more fears than males. Comparison of Jewish and Bedouin children's reports of fears showed significant quantitative and qualitative differences between the two groups. Results underscore the salience of both developmental and cultural factors in the development and nature of children's fears.
一份经过修订的儿童恐惧调查表的修改版被用于对865名8至12岁的以色列犹太儿童和以色列贝都因儿童进行调查。与之前的研究一致,恐惧呈现出与年龄相关的下降趋势,并且女孩报告的恐惧比男孩更多。对犹太儿童和贝都因儿童恐惧报告的比较显示,两组之间在数量和质量上存在显著差异。结果强调了发展因素和文化因素在儿童恐惧的发展及本质中的重要性。
