To examine criterion F variables of PTSD, the psychosocial functioning of two samples of motor vehicle accident (MVA) survivors was investigated. Within each sample, comparisons between MVA survivors with and without PTSD were conducted on four psychosocial functioning indices at three time points. In addition, the relationships between specific PTSD symptom clusters and psychosocial functioning indices were examined. The study revealed that, in general, MVA survivors with PTSD evidenced poorer psychosocial functioning than did survivors without PTSD. The emotional numbing symptoms of PTSD emerged as the most consistent predictors of the psychosocial functioning indices. The implications of these findings to the comprehensive treatment of PTSD are discussed.
为了检验创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的F类标准变量，对两组机动车事故（MVA）幸存者样本的心理社会功能进行了调查。在每个样本中，对有PTSD和无PTSD的MVA幸存者在三个时间点的四个心理社会功能指标进行了比较。此外，还研究了特定PTSD症状群与心理社会功能指标之间的关系。研究表明，总体而言，患有PTSD的MVA幸存者的心理社会功能比未患PTSD的幸存者更差。PTSD的情感麻木症状是心理社会功能指标最一致的预测因素。讨论了这些发现对PTSD综合治疗的意义。
