Abstract

ABSTRACT Data were collected on students in Grades 3 to 12 regarding their reactions to a major F4 tornado, which caused damage to their town in southern Minnesota. The purpose of this study was to examine some of the factors (i.e., level of exposure to the disaster, posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms, and home relocation) that may help predict behavioral problems and life satisfaction after a major tornado. The disruption of relocating to a new home after the tornado was associated with higher levels of internalizing behavior problems for children in Grades 3 to 6 and higher levels of externalizing behavior problems for adolescents in Grades 7 to 12. Increased exposure to the tornado was significantly associated with high levels of life satisfaction. Implications of these findings and directions for future research are discussed.
大龙卷风后儿童与青少年行为与生活满意度的预测因素
本研究收集了3至12年级学生对一场严重的F4级龙卷风的反应的数据,这场龙卷风给明尼苏达州南部的一个小镇造成了破坏。本研究的目的是检验一些可能有助于预测大龙卷风后行为问题和生活满意度的因素(即,灾难暴露水平、创伤后应激障碍症状和家庭搬迁)。龙卷风过后,搬迁到新家的中断与3至6年级儿童较高水平的内化行为问题和7至12年级青少年较高水平的外化行为问题有关。更多地接触龙卷风与高水平的生活满意度显著相关。讨论了这些发现的意义和未来的研究方向。
