The relationship between the sense of coherence (SOC) and the intensity of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was examined in order to determine its nature and to resolve the inconsistencies between (1) a growing body of empirical research that indicates a linear relationship between these variables, and (2) the schema-based theories of PTSD that suggest a curvilinear relationship between cognitions and the intensity of PTSD. In this cross-sectional study an attempt was also made to identify some psychological factors that moderate this relationship. Participants were a sample of 1132 motor vehicle accident (MVA) survivors. The results showed that gender and temperamental predisposition to PTSD constituted moderator variables of the relationship between SOC and the intensity of PTSD. This supported both the empirical evidence on the linear and negative relationship between SOC and the intensity of PTSD and the theories that postulated the curvilinear relationship.
为了确定两者之间的关系本质，并解决（1）实证研究表明这两个变量之间存在线性关系，以及（2）创伤后应激障碍的基于图式的理论表明认知与 PTSD 强度之间呈曲线关系这两者之间的不一致，研究考察了心理韧性（SOC）与创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）强度之间的关系。在这项横断面研究中，还试图确定一些调节这种关系的心理因素。参与者是 1132 名机动车事故（MVA）幸存者的样本。结果表明，性别和 PTSD 的气质倾向是 SOC 和 PTSD 强度之间关系的调节变量。这既支持了 SOC 与 PTSD 强度之间呈线性和负相关关系的实证证据，也支持了假设两者呈曲线关系的理论。
