Threat in the Nuclear Age

Children's Responses to the Nuclear Arms Debate

University of Utah School of Medicine, Salt Lake City, USA

Concern about the psychosocial effects of the currently increasing nuclear arms race has been raised in a 1982 American Psychiatric Association Task Force report. Seventy-five intermediate schoolchildren aged 11 to 12 years responded to a questionnaire in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, focusing on various aspects of the nuclear arms debate. Children were aware of nuclear issues by the age of 12 and expressed a variety of perspectives on the realities of nuclear threat and implications for the future. Most disturbing was a pervading sense of fatalism.
