A substantial proportion of clinical World War Two survivor offspring reports intrusions about war events they did not experience themselves. To help identify factors that contribute to the development of such indirect intrusions (i.e. intrusions about non-self-experienced traumatic events), we examined the personal characteristics of survivor offspring that were related to the presence of indirect intrusions. To explore the specificity of these relationships, we compared characteristics related to the presence of and intrusions (i.e. intrusions about self-experienced traumatic events). Participants (= 98) were post-war offspring of World War Two survivors in treatment in one of two clinics specialized in mental health services for war victims. We assessed the presence of indirect and direct intrusions as well as the following personal characteristics: gender, education level, trait dissociation, affect intensity, attentional control, mental imagery, fantasy proneness, and current psychopathology. Reports of intrusions were more frequent in individuals high in fantasy proneness, trait dissociation, and current psychopathology. Reports of intrusions were more frequent in women, individuals scoring high on trait dissociation, affect intensity, and current psychopathology. Fantasy proneness was a unique correlate of indirect intrusions. These findings are consistent with the idea that intrusions are the result of (re)constructive processes affected by several factors including personal characteristics.
Offspring of World War Two survivors often experience indirect intrusions.We examined personal characteristics related to indirect and direct intrusions.Fantasy proneness was the best predictor of indirect intrusions.Gender was the best predictor of direct intrusions.
相当一部分经历过第二次世界大战的临床幸存者的后代报告说，他们会闯入自己没有亲身经历过的战争事件。为了帮助确定导致这种间接闯入（即对非自我经历的创伤性事件的闯入）发展的因素，我们研究了与间接闯入有关的幸存者后代的个人特征。为了探索这些关系的特异性，我们比较了与存在间接和直接闯入（即对自我经历的创伤性事件的闯入）有关的特征。参与者（=98）是在两家专门为战争受害者提供心理健康服务的诊所之一接受治疗的二战幸存者的战后后代。我们评估了间接和直接闯入的存在，以及以下个人特征：性别、教育水平、特质分离、情感强度、注意力控制、心理意象、幻想倾向和当前的精神病理学。具有较高幻想倾向、特质分离和当前精神病理学的个体更频繁地报告间接闯入。女性、特质分离、情感强度和当前精神病理学得分较高的个体更频繁地报告直接闯入。幻想倾向是间接闯入的独特相关因素。这些发现与闯入是受多种因素（包括个人特征）影响的（重新）构建过程的结果的观点一致。
二战幸存者的后代经常经历间接闯入。我们研究了与间接和直接闯入有关的个人特征。幻想倾向是间接闯入的最佳预测因素。性别是直接闯入的最佳预测因素。
