The relationship between vote change for the presidential election in 2012 and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms has not been previously explored. An online sample of 1000 people mainly from New York Metropolitan Area was surveyed during the fourth week of November 2012 after Hurricane Sandy, shortly after the US Presidential election. Participants completed a questionnaire battery which included disaster related questions and PTSD symptoms. Logistic regression revealed a significant association between vote change and elevated risk for PTSD symptoms. This result may indicate that PTSD symptoms are associated with behavioral actions such as vote change.
2012 年总统选举中的投票变化与创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）症状之间的关系以前尚未探讨过。2012 年 11 月第四周，也就是桑迪飓风过后、美国总统大选不久，一个主要来自纽约大都市区的 1000 人的在线样本接受了调查。参与者完成了一份问卷，其中包括与灾难有关的问题和 PTSD 症状。Logistic 回归显示，投票变化与 PTSD 症状的风险增加显著相关。这一结果可能表明 PTSD 症状与投票等行为行动有关。
