Vietnam veterans with chronic combat-related posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have been frequently reported to exhibit high levels of aggression and violent behavior. In this study, gun collection and use habits, attitudes toward violence, and self-reported levels of aggression were compared between veterans with chronic PTSD and non-PTSD veterans with equivalent histories of alcohol and substance abuse. PTSD patients reported different attitudes toward violent crime, higher levels of self-reported aggression, and a significantly higher incidence of potentially dangerous firearm-related behaviors than comparison subjects.
经常有报道称，患有与战斗相关的慢性创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的越战退伍军人表现出高度的攻击性和暴力行为。在本研究中，对患有慢性创伤后应激障碍的退伍军人与有同等酒精和药物滥用史的非创伤后应激障碍退伍军人的枪支收藏和使用习惯、对暴力的态度以及自我报告的攻击水平进行了比较。与对照组相比，创伤后应激障碍患者对暴力犯罪表现出不同的态度，自我报告的攻击水平更高，与枪支相关的潜在危险行为的发生率也显著更高。
