This study investigated relationships among proactive coping, positive emotions, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptom severity for 182 undergraduate women with trauma histories. Participants were administered the Life Events Checklist (LEC), PTSD Checklist, Proactive Coping Inventory, Proactive Attitude Scale, General Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale, and measures of posttrauma gratitude and emotional growth. An Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) with proactive coping, proactive attitude, and self-efficacy items indicated a one-factor solution. The proactive coping style factor and posttrauma gratitude were independently negatively associated with current PTSD symptom level, above and beyond the effects of trauma severity, trauma history, and time elapsed since the trauma. The implications of these results for future research and understanding of the development of PTSD and its treatment are discussed.
本研究调查了182名有创伤史的本科女性中积极应对、积极情绪与创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）症状严重程度之间的关系。参与者接受了生活事件清单（LEC）、PTSD清单、积极应对量表、积极态度量表、一般自我效能感量表以及创伤后感恩和情绪成长的测量。对积极应对、积极态度和自我效能感项目进行的探索性因素分析（EFA）表明为单因素解决方案。积极应对方式因素和创伤后感恩与当前PTSD症状水平独立负相关，这超出了创伤严重程度、创伤史以及创伤发生后经过时间的影响。讨论了这些结果对未来研究以及对PTSD发展及其治疗理解的意义。
