*4.1. The Di*ff*erence in Psychological Outcomes between North, Central, and South Italy*

Table 3 reports the differences in psychological outcomes, considering the three territorial areas of Italy.

**Table 3.** Mean and SD of state and trait anxiety (STAI), psychopathological symptomatology (SCL-90) and post-traumatic stress symptomatology (IES-R) outcomes in the different Italian territorial areas, and ANOVA's results.



**Table 3.** *Cont.*

Considering psychopathological symptomatology assessed by the SCL-90, significant differences were reported only in the sleep disturbance subscale (F2,2288 = 4.55; *p* < 0.01; pη<sup>2</sup> = 0.004). People from North Italy reported higher sleep disturbances compared to people from South Italy (*p* < 0.003). However, no other significant differences were observed (see Table 3).

ANOVAs on STAI subscales did not highlight significant differences between individuals from North, Central, and South Italy.

Finally, considering PTSD, no significant differences were reported in IES-R subscales (see Table 3).
