项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The possibility of terrorism is a sobering facet of life in the post-9-11 world. Yet, little is known about how people cope with, or the extent to which their mental health and functioning is impaired by, the threat of terror. Because terror accomplishes its goals by posing a looming threat it is important to examine how people cope with the possibility of terror. Existing coping measures fail to assess the intricacies of coping or the specific methods employed in the aftermath of terrorism. Israel is a natural laboratory to study how people cope with terror. In this application, we have three objectives: (1) to employ state-of-the-art test construction methods to generate a psychometrically sound measure that indexes the specific dimensions of how Israelis cope with the threat of terrorism; (2) to construct a checklist that measures the functional impact related to the threat of future terror; and (3) to test a causal model that posits a number of mediators and moderators of functional impairment related to the threat of terrorism, including characteristic methods of coping with terror. The research will produce measures of coping with terror and related functional impairment that can be modified for broad use in the US. There is a substantial need in the public health and government policy arenas (e.g., Department of Homeland Defense, CDC, NIMH, SAMHSA) to generate knowledge that can be used to advise citizens in the face of terror, especially concerns about future mass violence episodes, such as bioterrorism, dirty bombs, and so on. Informational materials have been created and published by the American Psychiatric and Psychological Associations and various government agencies to advise people about how they should cope with these anxieties; however, these materials have not been based on research. Our results will provide tools to study the way people cope with unprecedented worries about future terror, which will greatly enhance the public health response to terror.

描述（由申请人提供）：恐怖主义的可能性是9-11后世界中生命的一个清醒的方面。然而，人们对人们如何应对，或者他们的心理健康和功能受到恐怖威胁的损害知之甚少。由于恐怖通过构成迫在眉睫的威胁来实现其目标，因此检查人们如何应对恐怖的可能性很重要。现有的应对措施无法评估应对的复杂性或恐怖主义后的特定方法。以色列是研究人们如何应对恐怖的自然实验室。在此应用程序中，我们有三个目标：（1）采用最先进的测试施工方法来产生一种心理上的合理措施，该方法索引了以色列人如何应对恐怖主义的威胁的特定方面；（2）构建一个清单，以衡量与未来恐怖威胁有关的功能影响；（3）测试一种因果模型，该模型提出了许多与恐怖主义威胁有关的功能障碍的调解人和主持人，包括应对恐怖的特征方法。该研究将产生应对恐怖和相关功能障碍的应对措施，在美国可以进行广泛使用。公共卫生和政府政策领域（例如，国土国防部，CDC，NIMH，SAMHSA）有很大的需求，以产生可用于在恐怖面前向公民提供建议的知识，尤其是对未来的群众暴力事件，例如生物恐怖主义，诸如生物恐怖主义，肮脏的炸弹等。美国精神病学和心理协会以及各种政府机构为人们提供了有关如何应对这些焦虑的建议；但是，这些材料尚未基于研究。我们的结果将提供工具，以研究人们应对前所未有的对未来恐怖的担忧，这将大大增强公共卫生对恐怖的反应。
