背景原子弹爆炸对幸存者及其子女的影响一直是人类和研究兴趣的话题，因为在战后早期。该主题围绕着身体健康知识和幸存者第二代后代生殖系遗传效应的研究。然而，相对较少已经做了了解的心理impacts.PurposeThe本研究的重点是代因素有关的第二代和第三代后代的原子弹幸存者的心理化妆。具体而言，本研究考虑抑郁症状和健康焦虑相关因素作为心理健康指标，以提供初步证据，解决这一差距。收集数据的参与者有和没有家庭关系的原子弹爆炸幸存者按年龄分层。这导致50名参与者报告至少有一名父母是原子弹幸存者，被归类为第二代后代，50名参与者至少有一名祖父母是原子弹幸存者，50名年龄在50-69岁之间的无关参与者，方法采用流行病学研究中心抑郁量表（CES-Depression Scale）对50名年龄在30- 49岁之间的无血缘关系的被试进行抑郁症状的调查。结果第二代受试者的抑郁症状评分高于第三代受试者（F（1，197）= 8.38，p <0.01，η2= 0.04），第三代受试者的抑郁症状评分高于第二代受试者（F（1，197）= 8.38，p <0.01）。第三代受试者中有和没有经历过原子弹爆炸的亲属的组间差异被观察到，有亲属的第三代受试者有更高的CES-D评分（F（1，197）= 6.36，p <0.01，η2= 0.03）。健康焦虑的水平并没有显着差异，或没有亲属的原子弹survivor.ConclusionOur研究结果表明，第二代和第三代个人之间的抑郁症状倾向的差异原子弹幸存者。这些结果表明，未来的研究将研究代际之间心理影响的差异，因为它们与导致抑郁症状增加的可能过程有关。
BackgroundThe effects of the atomic bomb experience on survivors and their children have been a topic of human and research interest since early in the postwar era. The topic has centered around knowledge of physical health and studies on germline genetic effects in the second-generation offspring of survivors. However, comparatively little has been done to understand the psychological impact.PurposeThe present study focuses on generational factors related to the psychological makeup of second and third generation descendants of atomic bomb survivors. Specifically, this study takes depressive symptoms and factors related to health anxiety into consideration as mental health indicators to offer preliminary evidence that addresses this gap.ObjectiveData was collected from participants with and without familial affiliation to atomic bomb survivors stratified by age. This resulted in 50 participants that reported having at least one parent who was an atomic bomb survivor categorized as second-generation descendants, 50 participants with at least one grandparent that was an atomic bomb survivor, 50 unrelated participants within an age range of 50–69, and 50 unrelated participants within an age range of 30–49.MethodDepressive symptom severity among participants was examined with the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), and health anxiety was examined using the Sense of Health Anxiety Scale (SHAS).ResultA significant difference was observed for participants without relatives who experienced the atomic bomb such that depressive symptom scores for second generation participants were higher than third generation participants (F(1, 197) = 8.38,p< .01,η2= 0.04). A between-group difference for third generation participants with and without relatives who experienced the atomic bomb was observed such that third-generation participants with relatives had higher CES-D scores (F(1, 197) = 6.36,p< .01,η2= 0.03). The levels of health anxiety did not differ between generations with or without relatives of atomic bomb survivors.ConclusionOur findings indicated a difference in depressive symptom tendencies between second and third generation individuals related to atomic bomb survivors. These results suggest that future studies examine the difference in psychological effects between generations as they relate to possible processes that lead to an increase in depressive symptoms.
