在飓风保利纳（N= 200;墨西哥）和安德鲁（非西班牙裔n= 270;美国）后6个月，使用修订的平民密西西比量表收集创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）症状的数据。一个4因素的测量模型，代表了公认的创伤后应激障碍的多因素概念化适合的数据，美国和墨西哥的样本同样好。侵入、回避、麻木和唤醒4个因子与创伤严重程度显著相关，且与创伤严重程度相关程度相当。一个单一的结构解释了每个样本中症状因素的协方差。然而，建模PTSD作为一个一维的结构掩盖了样本之间的差异，症状的严重程度。在控制创伤严重程度的情况下，墨西哥样本在侵入和回避方面较高，而美国样本在唤醒方面较高。结果表明，创伤后应激障碍是一个有意义的结构，在拉丁美洲社会的研究。
Data on symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) were collected 6 months after Hurricanes Paulina (N= 200; Mexico) and Andrew (non-Hispanic n= 270; United States) using the Revised Civilian Mississippi Scale. A 4-factor measurement model that represented the accepted multicriterion conceptualization of PTSD fit the data of the US and Mexican samples equally well. The 4 factors of Intrusion, Avoidance, Numbing, and Arousal correlated significantly and equivalently with severity of trauma in each sample. A single construct explained much of the covariance of the symptom factors in each sample. However, modeling PTSD as a unidimensional construct masked differences between samples in symptom severity. With severity of trauma controlled, the Mexican sample was higher in Intrusion and Avoidance, whereas the US sample was higher in Arousal. The results suggest that PTSD is a meaningful construct to study in Latin American societies.
