living in the modern age that are often complex, insidious, and over which the
average citizen often feels little control. The threat of war, including nuclear war,
continues to be a major source of worry for youth and adolescents. Worry over nuclear war, however, recedes with age and by adulthood most people do not spend too much time worrying about the threat of nuclear war, most people do little about
the threat of nuclear weapons, even though the majority of the population favor
a nuclear freeze. Even if they do worry, most individuals tend to respond to the threat of nuclear weapons with a sense of helplessness and avoidance of the issues.
