The study group consisted of 1258 children aged between 7 and 15 years who were divided into three groups: healthy (showing non-traumatic photographs), traumatic and combined (showing both traumatized and non-traumatic photographs). These images were shown to healthy, traumatized and combined group. Children were asked to complete questionnaires which was prepared according to likert scale. The results were analyzed using one way ANOVA, descriptive statistics and post hoc multiple comparative analysis methods. Results: There was a statistically significant difference between the ages of 7-11 and 12-15 age group in the combined group (p <0.05). There was a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of 7-11 and 12-15 age groups in the healthy group Conclusion: In this study; It has been seen that children aged 7-11 years are in more definitive judgments than children aged 12-15 years. All children, except 12-15 year-old boys, described the fracture as more negative judgments than when they saw their peers’s fractured and restored images.
