Means and standard deviations for all measures across different timepoints, presented separately for each subgroup of children. TEC, Traumatic Events Checklist; CRIES, Child Revised Impact of Events Scale (PTSD measure); AYMHS, Arab Youth Mental Health Scale (anxiety/depression measure); HIS, Human Insecurity Scale; HDS, Human Distress Scale; YLOT, Youth Life Orientation Test (optimism measure); HS, happy–sad emotion recognition bias; FA, fear–anger emotion recognition bias. ∗ indicates significant difference between experimental and control subgroups p < 0.05. ∗∗ indicates significant difference between experimental and control subgroups p < 0.01.
