In this study we examined the relationship between posttrauma pathology and the level of articulation (complexity) in rape narratives recounted by victims shortly after the assault. Degree of articulation was operationalized as the reading level of the narrative as determined by a computer program. Shortly after the trauma, reading level was correlated with severity of anxiety but not with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. Degree of the narrative articulation shortly after the trauma, however, was related to severity of later PTSD. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that the less developed trauma narratives hinder recovery from trauma.
在本研究中，我们考察了创伤后病理学与受害者在性侵后不久讲述的强奸事件叙述中的表达水平（复杂性）之间的关系。表达程度通过计算机程序确定的叙述阅读水平来操作化。创伤后不久，阅读水平与焦虑严重程度相关，但与创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）症状无关。然而，创伤后不久叙述的表达程度与后期PTSD的严重程度相关。这些结果与以下假设一致：发展不完善的创伤叙述会阻碍创伤后的恢复。
