This study investigated Emotional Intelligence (EI) as a moderator for the association between emotional expression and adaptive trauma processing, as measured by depressive symptoms. Using Pennebaker's written emotional expression paradigm, 105 participants were assigned to either a conventional trauma-writing or religious trauma-writing condition. Depressive symptoms were assessed at baseline and again at one-month post writing. No significant association between EI and religiousness was found at baseline. Results indicated a three-way interaction among EI, trauma severity, and writing condition on depressive symptoms at follow-up. For the religious trauma-writing condition only, there was a significant difference between high- versus low-EI participants who experienced more severe trauma in depressive symptoms at follow-up, such that low-EI participants registered less depressive symptoms than high-EI participants; while there was no significant difference between low versus high EI for participants with less severe trauma. These findings encourage further investigation of the conditions under which religion may be a beneficial factor in trauma adaptation.
本研究调查了情商（EI）作为情绪表达与适应性创伤处理之间关联的调节因素，其中适应性创伤处理通过抑郁症状来衡量。采用彭尼贝克的书面情绪表达范式，105名参与者被分配到传统创伤写作或宗教创伤写作条件组。在基线时以及写作后一个月再次评估抑郁症状。在基线时未发现情商与宗教信仰之间存在显著关联。结果表明，在随访时，情商、创伤严重程度和写作条件之间对抑郁症状存在三向交互作用。仅在宗教创伤写作条件组中，经历更严重创伤的高情商与低情商参与者在随访时的抑郁症状存在显著差异，即低情商参与者的抑郁症状比高情商参与者少；而对于创伤较轻的参与者，低情商与高情商之间没有显著差异。这些发现鼓励进一步研究宗教可能成为创伤适应有益因素的条件。
