The relationship between self-reported attitudes towards emotional expression, assessed at three years after the accident, and post-traumatic symptoms, assessed at five years after the accident, was investigated in 37 survivors of the Herald of Free Enterprise disaster. It was found that lower scores on the attitudes towards emotional expression scale, indicating more negative attitudes (e.g. 'I think getting emotional is a sign of weakness') were associated with higher symptom scores. This association remained even when retrospectively assessed perceptions of helplessness during the disaster and symptoms assessed at three years were partialled out. Implications for therapeutic intervention are discussed.
对“自由企业先驱号”灾难的37名幸存者进行了调查，研究事故发生三年后自我报告的情绪表达态度与事故发生五年后创伤后症状之间的关系。结果发现，情绪表达态度量表得分较低，表明态度更消极（例如，“我认为情绪化是软弱的表现”），与较高的症状得分相关。即使在排除灾难期间无助感的回顾性评估和三年时评估的症状后，这种关联仍然存在。文中还讨论了对治疗干预的启示。
