在全美随机抽取了724人，邮寄了一份调查问卷，其中包括人口统计信息、创伤事件调查(D.M.Elliott，1992)的节本，以及关于创伤事件记忆的问题。其中，505人(70%)完成了调查。在报告某种形式的创伤的受访者中(72%)，对事件的延迟回忆报告的比例为32%。这种现象在目睹家庭成员被谋杀或自杀的个人、性虐待幸存者和退伍军人中最为常见。创伤的严重程度可以预测记忆状态，但人口统计变量不能。最常被报道的创伤回忆触发因素是某种形式的媒体呈现(即电视节目、电影)，而心理治疗是最不常见的触发因素。
A random sample of 724 individuals across the United States were mailed a questionnaire containing demographic information, an abridged version of the Traumatic Events Survey (D. M. Elliott, 1992), and questions regarding memory for traumatic events. Of these, 505 (70%) completed the survey. Among respondents who reported some form of trauma (72%), delayed recall of the event was reported by 32%. This phenomenon was most common among individuals who observed the murder or suicide of a family member, sexual abuse survivors, and combat veterans. The severity of the trauma was predictive of memory status, but demographic variables were not. The most commonly reported trigger to recall of the trauma was some form of media presentation (i.e., television show, movie), whereas psychotherapy was the least commonly reported trigger.
