Intrusive thoughts and young children’s knowledge about thinking following a natural disaster / Manuel SPRUNG in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 51-10 (October 2010)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 51-10 (October 2010) . - p.1115-1124 Titre : Intrusive thoughts and young children’s knowledge about thinking following a natural disaster Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Manuel SPRUNG, Auteur ; Paul L. HARRIS, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : p.1115-1124 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Natural-disaster hurricanes posttraumatic-stress-disorder-(PTSD)intrusive-thoughts knowledge-about-thinking introspection theory-of-mind trauma Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: Hurricane Katrina devastated the Mississippi Gulf Coast in August 2005. Intrusive re-experiencing is a common posttraumatic stress symptom. However, young children with limited introspection skills might have difficulties identifying their intrusive thoughts. Method:  A sample of 165 5- to 9-year-old children were surveyed about their unwanted intrusive thoughts and their knowledge about thinking, 10 months following the hurricane. Results:  Results replicate and extend the findings from a previous study (Sprung, 2008). Although there was no difference in the overall occurrence of intrusive thoughts, there was a striking difference between hurricane-exposed and control children in their contents. Children’s knowledge about thinking was linked to their ability to report on their negative intrusive thoughts, even taking language ability into account. Conclusion:  There is a shift toward negative content following hurricane exposure compared with non-hurricane-exposed children and knowledge about thinking is linked to the reporting of such intrusive thoughts. Implications for current research on autobiographical memory and for interventions following potentially traumatic events are discussed.

Unwanted Intrusive Thoughts and Cognitive Functioning in Kindergarten and Young Elementary School-Age Children Following Hurricane Katrina / Manuel SPRUNG in Journal of Clinical Child & Adolescent Psychology, 37-3 (July-September 2008)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Clinical Child & Adolescent Psychology > 37-3 (July-September 2008) . - p.575-587 Titre : Unwanted Intrusive Thoughts and Cognitive Functioning in Kindergarten and Young Elementary School-Age Children Following Hurricane Katrina Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Manuel SPRUNG, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p.575-587 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Seven months after Hurricane Katrina, 183 five- to eight-year-old children were surveyed about their own intrusive thoughts and tested on their level of cognitive functioning (knowledge about the mind and the mind's operations). Basic developmental research suggests that children who lack sufficient knowledge about the mind should have difficulties answering questions about intrusive thoughts. Hurricane-affected children reported relatively more intrusive thoughts with negative content than nonaffected children reported. An association between children's level of understanding of the mind and their ability to report on their own intrusive thoughts supports this hypothesis. Results point to a funneling of intrusive thoughts toward negative content following a traumatic event and highlight the importance of considering children's level of understanding of the mind when investigating intrusive thoughts in young children.
