This study explored the relationship between attention, negative emotions, empathy, mindfulness, and psychological trauma in catastrophic events to reduce psychological trauma in the public.
A total of 526 adults in Guangxi Province, China, were investigated using self-rating scales for post-traumatic stress disorder, emotion, and empathy, as well as a five-factor self-rating mindfulness scale and a catastrophic incident concern questionnaire.
The results revealed the following: (1) Emotion significantly mediated attention and psychological trauma. (2) Empathy had a significant mediating effect on attention and psychological trauma. (3) Mindfulness moderated the relationship between negative emotions and psychological trauma, amplifying the impact of emotions on trauma rather than buffering it.
When people pay attention to catastrophic events, they should remain sensible and restrained, and avoid excessive emotional involvement to reduce the excessive psychological trauma caused by the event.
本研究旨在探讨灾难性事件中注意力、负性情绪、同理心、正念与心理创伤之间的关系,以减少公众的心理创伤。
采用创伤后应激自评量表、情绪与同理心自评量表、五因素正念自评量表和灾难性事件关注问卷对中国广西壮族自治区的 526 名成年人进行调查。
结果表明:(1)情绪在注意力与心理创伤之间起部分中介作用;(2)同理心在注意力与心理创伤之间起完全中介作用;(3)正念对负性情绪与心理创伤的关系具有调节作用,即正念增强了情绪对创伤的影响,而非缓冲作用。
当人们关注灾难性事件时,应保持理智和克制,避免过度的情绪卷入,以减少事件引发的过度心理创伤。
