Despite high levels of exposure to stress, questions remain regarding how social interactions and beliefs about emotion interact to influence posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in firefighters. United States urban firefighters (N = 225) completed the Interpersonal Support Evaluation List, the Unsupportive Social Interactions Inventory, the Affective Control Scale, and the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist. Each independent variable predicted PTSD beyond variance accounted for by demographic variables. Additionally, fear of emotion emerged as the strongest individual predictor of PTSD and a moderator of the relation between social interactions and PTSD symptoms. These findings emphasize the importance of beliefs about emotion both in how these beliefs might influence the expression of PTSD symptoms, and in how the social networks of trauma survivors might buffer distress.
尽管消防员面临着高强度的压力暴露，但仍有一些问题尚未得到解答，例如社会交往和情绪观念如何相互作用，从而影响创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的发生。本研究对 225 名美国城市消防员进行了调查，调查工具包括人际关系支持量表、不支持性社会交往量表、情感控制量表和 PTSD 检查表。每个自变量都可以预测 PTSD，而不仅仅是人口统计学变量所解释的方差。此外，对情绪的恐惧是 PTSD 的最强个体预测指标，也是社会交往与 PTSD 症状关系的调节变量。这些发现强调了情绪观念的重要性，不仅在于这些观念如何影响 PTSD 症状的表达，还在于创伤幸存者的社交网络如何缓冲痛苦。
