"Palestinian Children Under Curfew"; Samir Qouta and Eyad El-Sarraj. Psychological studies,vol.4,1994.1-12

This study is based on field research work. The purpose of the study was to estimate the effect of the curfew on children. 547 mothers were asked to record the behavioral changes of their children during curfew by using the Rutter scale. Results showed that 66.1% of children began to fight each other and that 54% were afraid of new things. Significant differences were observed in behavioral and neurotic symptoms between camp children, resettled children, and town children.
