Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: The purpose of this study was to assess the coping strategies parents used to alleviate their child’s TV news induced fears surrounding the recent war in Iraq. Using a developmental approach, the study investigated age-related differences in parents’ use of cognitive versus non-cognitive coping strategies. Towards this end, a total of 94 parents of 5- to 12-year olds were randomly sampled from Ingham County, Michigan. Caregivers were surveyed about their child’s fear responses to the news coverage as well as the comforting strategies they used. Based on developmental differences in information- processing and previous research, it was expected that parents of 5- to 8-year olds would report using more non-cognitive strategies whereas parents of 9- to 12-year olds would report using more cognitive strategies. Only partial support was found for these expectations, with parents of children of all ages relying heavily on cognitive coping strategies.
