创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）与亲密伴侣虐待、生理反应和社会支持有关。作者使用结构方程模型来测试社会支持作为调节剂和心理生理反应和愤怒作为中介的虐待和创伤症状之间的关系之间的妇女报告心理虐待的样本，包括妇女报告身体暴力和没有身体暴力。身体和心理虐待都与PTSD症状有关。而身体和心理虐待是高度相关的，心理虐待并没有预测PTSD发病率超过身体攻击的影响。心理生理反应和愤怒和恐惧显示在与合作伙伴的争论没有调解虐待创伤的联系。社会支持对心理虐待与PTSD的关系具有调节作用。
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has been linked to intimate partner abuse, physiological reactivity, and social support. The authors used structural equation modeling to test social support as a moderator and psychophysiological reactivity and anger as mediators of the relation between abuse and traumatic symptoms among a sample of women reporting psychological abuse, including women reporting both physical violence and no physical violence. Both physical and psychological abuse were related to PTSD symptoms. Whereas physical and psychological abuse were highly correlated, psychological abuse did not predict PTSD symptomatology over and above the effect due to physical assault. Psychophysiological reactivity and anger and fear displayed during an argument with the partner did not mediate the abuse-trauma link. Social support moderated the relation between psychological abuse and PTSD symptomatology.
