The present study examines the relationship between resilience, perceived meaning in life, and traumatic stress symptoms among coastal residents of Mississippi directly affected by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill (also known as the Gulf oil spill). The study was conducted as part of a larger project that assessed the spill's effect on the mental health of individuals seeking therapeutic services. Multiple regression analyses were conducted to determine if resilience and perceived meaning are significant predictors of scores from a measure of posttraumatic stress. Descriptive data, reliability coefficients, and correlations were also calculated. Higher levels of resilience and meaning together were predictive of fewer posttraumatic stress symptoms after controlling for the effect of the spill. Resilience and meaning appeared to be similar predictors of lower posttraumatic stress scores, and meaning appears to be an important facet of what makes a person resilient.
本研究考察了受“深水地平线”石油泄漏事件（又称墨西哥湾漏油事件）直接影响的密西西比州沿海居民的心理韧性、感知到的生活意义与创伤应激症状之间的关系。该研究是一个更大项目的一部分，该项目评估了漏油事件对寻求治疗服务的个体心理健康的影响。进行了多元回归分析，以确定心理韧性和感知到的意义是否是创伤后应激测量得分的显著预测因素。还计算了描述性数据、信度系数和相关性。在控制了漏油事件的影响后，较高水平的心理韧性和生活意义共同预示着创伤后应激症状较少。心理韧性和生活意义似乎是创伤后应激得分较低的相似预测因素，而且生活意义似乎是使人具有心理韧性的一个重要方面。
