In literature on posttraumatic stress-disorder (PTSD) there is growing interest in the concept "centrality of event", referring to the degree to which the memory of a traumatic event is central to one's everyday inferences, life-story, and identity. Using self-reported data from 254 bereaved individuals, this study examined the centrality of the loss-event in emotional problems following loss. Findings showed that this centrality (a) varied as a function of kinship to the deceased but not other loss-related variables, (b) was correlated with complicated grief (CG), depression, PTSD, and with neuroticism and several cognitive-behavioural variables, and (c) remained correlated with CG but not depression and PTSD when controlling for the shared variance between these symptoms, neuroticism, and these cognitive-behavioural variables.
在创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的文献中，人们对“事件的中心性”这一概念越来越感兴趣，它指的是创伤性事件的记忆在多大程度上成为一个人日常推断、生活故事和身份的核心。本研究使用 254 名丧亲者的自我报告数据，考察了丧失事件在丧失后情绪问题中的中心性。研究结果表明，这种中心性（a）因与死者的亲属关系而异，但与其他与丧失相关的变量无关，（b）与复杂悲痛（CG）、抑郁、PTSD 以及神经质和几种认知行为变量相关，（c）在控制这些症状、神经质和这些认知行为变量之间的共同方差后，与 CG 仍然相关，但与抑郁和 PTSD 无关。
