Research suggests that among college students, physical and sexual abuse in intimate relationships are associated with posttraumatic stress. Psychological abuse occurs in intimate relationships among college students, and though there is evidence that such abuse has a negative emotional impact, posttraumatic stress has not been extensively researched as an outcome in this population. The purpose of this study is to determine the associations of past-year psychological abuse with posttraumatic stress symptoms while controlling for other types of past-year relationship abuse and lifetime trauma history. The sample consists of 191 college men and women (81.7% women and 89.5% White). Linear regression analyses demonstrate that trauma history, but not past year relationship violence, is a significant predictor of PTSD symptom severity for women, and neither set of variables significantly predicts PTSD symptom severity for men. Implications for future research are discussed.
研究表明,在大学生中,亲密关系中的身体和性虐待与创伤后应激有关。大学生的亲密关系中存在心理虐待,尽管有证据表明这种虐待会产生负面的情绪影响,但创伤后应激尚未作为该人群的一个结果得到广泛研究。本研究的目的是确定在控制其他类型的过去一年关系虐待和终生创伤史的情况下,过去一年的心理虐待与创伤后应激症状之间的关联。样本包括 191 名男女大学生(81.7%为女性,89.5%为白人)。线性回归分析表明,创伤史而不是过去一年的关系暴力是女性创伤后应激症状严重程度的重要预测因素,而这两组变量都不能显著预测男性的创伤后应激症状严重程度。讨论了对未来研究的影响。
