Abstract
The present study aimed to study the implication of war stress in emotional and cognitive response of psychiatric patients. Thirty-nine Israeli hospitalized schizophrenics and 39 comparable controls were assessed during the 1991 Gulf War. Subjects tilled out questionnaires evaluating anxiety, war-related symptomatology, and world assumptions. Results revealed that while psychiatric patients reported significantly higher levels of trait anxiety than controls, the two groups did not differ in war-related distress. Moreover, on most indices, hospitalized schizophrenics held more positive world assumptions than controls. Theoretical issues are discussed.
