Studies of populations after 9/11 & after the 2008-2009 Gaza massacre suggest that indirect exposure to mass trauma through media leads to population-level surges in PTSD-like symptoms that then decline back to baseline over a period of months sci-hub.se
interesting to get some insight into the duration of effects of events like that, kind of a narrow temporal window of opportunity to exploit that widespread trauma/tension
Media exposure to one traumatic event primes you to respond acutely to subsequent events....really interesting implications
so the acute mass psychological effects of a given event last for a few months, but they can be sort of re-activated ~years later by subsequent events
probably will use this as a thread for other related research as i come across it
