这项前瞻性研究旨在探讨特质内部资源和应对策略在预测创伤暴露和创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）症状水平方面的作用。共有870名以色列学生参加了这项研究，其中182名（20%）在基线（t1）报告了创伤暴露的终身史，共有231名（27%）受访者在随访期间（t2，t3）报告了创伤暴露。在控制了创伤暴露的终身史的影响后，无论是在多变量协方差分析（MACNOVA）中将其作为协变量，还是在回归分析中将其作为预测变量，结果表明，特质回避应对方式高和掌握程度低的个体有较高的创伤暴露风险，而那些特质问题集中应对方式高的个体，掌握和性格乐观的人在这样的暴露后患PTSD症状的风险较低。
This prospective study aimed at examining the role of trait internal resources and coping strategies in predicting traumatic exposure and levels of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms after such exposure. In total, 870 Israeli students participated in the study, of whom 182 (20%) reported a lifetime history of traumatic exposure at baseline (t1), and a total of 231 (27%) respondents reported traumatic exposure during follow-up (t2, t3). After controlling the effect of lifetime history of traumatic exposure either by using it as a covariate in a multivariate analysis of covariance (MACNOVA) or as a predictor in regression analyses, the results indicate that individuals high on trait avoidance coping style and low on mastery are at a higher risk for traumatic exposure, while those high on trait problem-focused coping style, mastery and dispositional optimism are at a lower risk for PTSD symptoms after such exposure.
