In the current study, the authors examined the effects of systematically varying the writing instructions for the written emotional disclosure procedure. College undergraduates with a trauma history and at least moderate posttraumatic stress symptoms were asked to write about (a) the same traumatic experience, (b) different traumatic experiences, or (c) nontraumatic everyday events across 3 written disclosure sessions. Results show that participants who wrote about the same traumatic experience reported significant reductions in psychological and physical symptoms at follow-up assessments compared with other participants. These findings suggest that written emotional disclosure may be most effective when individuals are instructed to write about the same traumatic or stressful event at each writing session, a finding consistent with exposure-based treatments.
在当前的研究中，作者们研究了系统改变书面情绪表露程序的写作指导语所产生的效果。研究要求有创伤史且至少有中度创伤后应激症状的大学生在3次书面表露环节中分别写下：(a) 同一段创伤经历；(b) 不同的创伤经历；或 (c) 非创伤性的日常事件。结果显示，与其他参与者相比，写下同一段创伤经历的参与者在后续评估中报告心理和生理症状有显著减轻。这些发现表明，当指导个体在每次写作环节都写下同一段创伤或压力事件时，书面情绪表露可能最有效，这一发现与基于暴露的治疗方法一致。
