Two months after 9/11, the fears of children and adolescents in Grades 2–12 were examined utilizing the American Fear Survey Schedule for Children and Adolescents (FSSC-AM). Fear intensity scores and age and gender differences are reported. Terrorist-related content on the FSSC-AM (e.g., terrorist attacks, our country being invading by enemies) was also examined in a pre- and post-9/11 comparison. Implications and directions for future research are discussed.
