| Description | The relation between fear of war and mental health was studied among 50 patients spontaneously reporting fear and 100 controls at the Psychiatric Clinic of Helsinki University Central Hospital in 1983-88. Of all psychologically tested patients, 3.3% reported fear of war in the sentence completion or draw-a-person test. Fear of war was not significantly related to sex, age, marital status, social class, intelligence, psychiatric diagnosis, the level of mental impairment, or suicidality. Cattel's 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire showed that patients fearing war were more sensitive, less insecure, and better self-disciplined than controls. These results do not support the idea that fear of war impairs mental health. |
