Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms have been linked to traumatic experiences, including intimate partner violence. However, not all battered women develop PTSD symptoms. The current study tests attachment style as a moderator in the abuse-trauma link among a community sample women in violent and non-violent relationships. Both attachment anxiety and dependency were found to moderate the relation between intimate partner violence and PTSD symptoms. However, attachment closeness did not function as a moderator. Differences in attachment may help to explain why certain victims of domestic abuse may be more susceptible to experiencing PTSD symptoms. Clinically, these findings may aid in the prediction and prevention of PTSD symptoms in women victimized by intimate partner abuse.
创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）症状与创伤经历有关，包括亲密伴侣暴力。然而，并非所有受虐妇女都会出现PTSD症状。本研究将依恋风格作为暴力和非暴力关系中社区女性样本中虐待与创伤联系的调节变量进行测试。研究发现，依恋焦虑和依赖都会调节亲密伴侣暴力与PTSD症状之间的关系。然而，依恋亲密性并未起到调节作用。依恋方面的差异可能有助于解释为什么某些家庭虐待受害者更容易出现PTSD症状。在临床上，这些发现可能有助于预测和预防受亲密伴侣虐待的女性出现PTSD症状。
