The current study aims at investigating the extent to which war broadcasting impact children and
the extent to which that might end in psychological disorders along with, exploring that impact
on PTSD and supplementary disorders such as depression and anxiety. Participants were (n =
416) children, male (n = 246), female (n =
170). According to their age the sample was divided
into early childhood participants (n = 123) and preadolescence participants (n = 293). PTSD,
depression and war broadcasting perception scales were administered. We hypothesized that the
PTSD disorders vary with age and gender, PTSD disorders vary with war broadcasting
perception and there are significant relationships among war broadcasting perception, anxiety
and depression. Results showed that the first hypothesis was accepted and there were significant
differences between male and female children with p < .01. Nevertheless there were no
significant differences among early childhood and preadolescence stages. Besides, there were
significant correlations among PTSD, depression and anxiety.[left]<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->
