The aim of the research is to examine the psychological trauma, anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorders related to these struggles in the second and third parts, based on the reality of the parents of the survivors of the 1974 Cyprus War, that is, the parents of today's young parents, generation Turkish Cypriots. Data observed with the Transferred Psychological Trauma Scale, Beck Anxiety Scale, DSM-5 Repetitive Thoughts and Behaviors Scale, Brief Psychological Resilience Scale and Demographic Information Form were analyzed with t-test and ANOVA tests performed independently on SPSS 27. The research model was conducted with a total of 305 people, 195 women and 110 men, from the second and third generation individuals who experienced the war in the 1974 war. Psychological trauma and its sub-dimensions transferred according to the relationships obtained do not differ according to gender. Additionally, the psychological trauma transferred to women whose mothers migrated from the village during the war differs from women whose mothers were psychologically resilient and migrated from other sources of support. However, those whose mothers migrated from a Turkish village differ significantly from others in terms of family recovery and anxiety. However, in the mother's migration variable, while the patient's level of psychological resilience and the sub-dimensions of the psychological trauma, emotional-behavioral change and family dissolution, show a significant difference, the father's degree of psychological resilience does not differ. On the other hand, while there is no difference in the psychological traumas experienced by mothers during the separation process, there is a significant difference in the active participation of separated fathers in the conflict. A similar transfer of this handling of care into the future allows for the inclusion of hoarding performance in addition to the variables of psychological trauma and anxiety conveyed.
