Abstract
Within a broad investigation of 221 employees reporting psychological problems after experiencing robberies in banks, data were collected on the nature and distribution of different stress symptoms. This paper deals with a factor analysis of this material as well as with a study of possible differences concerning the ability of the employees to remember these symptoms. No such differences in memory could be found in terms of time elapsed since the robbery. However, women did report more symptoms than men. The factor analysis showed that the symptoms could be described by defined groups in such a way as to present the possibility of meaningful theoretical interpretations of those groupings.
