In the present study, we examined posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and posttraumatic growth (PTG) responses among a nonclinical sample of 202 participants. Instruments included the PTSD Checklist for the DSM-5 (fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) and Posttraumatic Growth Inventory. Confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated the most support for the 6-factor DSM-5 PTSD model and 5-factor PTG model, previously supported in the literature. Canonical correlation analysis evidenced a strong relationship between PTSD and PTG subscales. Path analysis results demonstrated that PTSD's re-experiencing subscale was related to PTG's appreciation for life subscale. Posttraumatic stress disorder's avoidance was related to PTG's personal strength subscale. We also tested curvilinear relationships between PTSD and PTG subscales. Results and implications are discussed in the context of the constructs of PTSD and PTG.
在本研究中，我们对202名参与者的非临床样本中的创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）症状和创伤后成长（PTG）反应进行了检查。所使用的工具包括《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第五版（DSM - 5）的创伤后应激障碍检查表和创伤后成长量表。验证性因素分析显示，对文献中先前支持的6因素DSM - 5创伤后应激障碍模型和5因素创伤后成长模型的支持力度最大。典型相关分析证明了创伤后应激障碍和创伤后成长分量表之间存在密切关系。路径分析结果表明，创伤后应激障碍的重新体验分量表与创伤后成长的对生活的感激分量表相关。创伤后应激障碍的回避与创伤后成长的个人力量分量表相关。我们还测试了创伤后应激障碍和创伤后成长分量表之间的曲线关系。在创伤后应激障碍和创伤后成长的结构背景下对结果及其影响进行了讨论。
