Abstract:

Data were collected from mid-February 2002 mid-October 2002 from just over six hundred subjects (N=602), living in Northeast Ohio. Guided by the Conservation of Resources (COR) Theory (Hobfoll, 1986; 1998) we conducted analyses to measure the impact of the 9/11 attacks. We determined that the reported losses of psychosocial resources have a significant and meaningful impact on the severity of PTSD symptoms, even among a sample that was minimally exposed to the events of September 11, 2001. We also determined that a substantial zero-order relationship existed between depressive mood and the severity of PTSD symptoms, which was substantially reduced primarily by controlling on perceived loss of psychosocial resources as a result of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Several socio-demographic variables had significant effects on loss of psychosocial resources, which revealed that some people were more vulnerable to the stressfulness of the attacks than others.
