Support exists in many populations for the use of written disclosure to express thoughts and emotions about a traumatic experience. The present study examined language use in a variation of the writing task modified to include an imagined dialogue with another person. We hypothesized that this method would increase cognitive, affective, and present-tense word use, all of which are linked with beneficial outcomes from writing. We randomly assigned 169 college students to write in one of three conditions: trauma narrative, trauma dialogue, or control writing. Results suggested that writing about traumatic experiences in the form of a dialogue promotes greater present-oriented, affective experiencing and cognitive processing than does writing in the form of a narrative.
许多人群支持通过书面披露来表达对创伤经历的想法和感受。本研究考察了一种写作任务变体中的语言使用情况，该变体被修改为包括与另一个人的想象对话。我们假设这种方法会增加认知、情感和现在时态词汇的使用，所有这些都与写作带来的有益结果相关。我们将169名大学生随机分配到三种写作条件之一：创伤叙事、创伤对话或对照写作。结果表明，与以叙事形式写作相比，以对话形式书写创伤经历能促进更多以当下为导向的情感体验和认知加工。
