Lightning-Strike Disaster: Effects on Children's Fears and Worries.
Dollinger, Stephen J.; And Others
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v52 n6 p1028-38 Dec 1984
Compares fears of lightning-strike victims (N=29) with matched control children (N=58), using fear reports from children and their mothers. Differences between samples were most pronounced for child-reported fears. Correspondence between mothers' and children's reports of intense storm-related fears was markedly larger in the lightning sample than control sample. (BH)
