Information processing theorists propose that traumatic events can lead to disruptions in the processing of information and to changes in beliefs. This study examined the relationships among trauma, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and religious beliefs. Participants included 120 individuals from community and clinical samples who participated in the DSM-IV Field Trial Study on PTSD. Results indicated that the PTSD group was more likely to report changes in religious beliefs following the first/only traumatic event, generally becoming less religious. PTSD status was not related to change in religious beliefs following the most recent event. Intrinsic religiosity was related to multiple victimization, but not PTSD. Results are discussed in terms of understanding the function of religiosity in participants' lives and future directions for research.
信息加工理论学家提出，创伤性事件会导致信息加工过程的中断以及信念的改变。本研究考察了创伤、创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）和宗教信仰之间的关系。参与者包括来自社区和临床样本的120个人，他们参与了PTSD的《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第四版现场试验研究。结果表明，PTSD组在首次/唯一一次创伤性事件后更有可能报告宗教信仰的改变，总体上宗教信仰变得更淡。PTSD状态与最近一次事件后的宗教信仰改变无关。内在宗教性与多重受害经历有关，但与PTSD无关。我们从理解宗教信仰在参与者生活中的作用以及未来研究方向的角度对结果进行了讨论。
