长期以来，人们一直使用基于事件的叙述性解释或个人特征的方法来研究对压力性负面事件的反应。在这里，我们整合这两种方法，通过使用个人差异的措施，叙事解释的压力事件作为中央的一个人的生活和个性特征的消极情感。我们发现，他们每个人都有独立的贡献，压力反应和高水平上都产生大于加性效应。对本科生（研究1，n= 2，296;研究3，n= 488）和退伍军人（研究2，n= 104）的创伤后应激症状的影响是实质性的，参与者的平均水平在创伤后应激症状的两项措施上都很低，而那些在两项措施上得分都在诊断阈值或以上的参与者。研究3包括3个叙事中心性和3个消极情感的措施，以证明效果不限于一个单一的措施。在研究4（n= 987）中，与创伤后应激症状相关的措施与叙事中心性措施或负情感措施基本相关。叙述中心性和负情感的概念和结果与使用类似措施的临床人群的结果和当前的治疗方法一致。在广泛的非临床人群中，例如这里使用的人群，结果表明，我们可能能够通过包括这两个概念来大幅提高我们解释应激反应严重程度的能力。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2022阿帕，保留所有权利）
Reactions to stressful negative events have long been studied using approaches based on either the narrative interpretation of the event or the traits of the individual. Here, we integrate these 2 approaches by using individual-differences measures of both the narrative interpretation of the stressful event as central to one’s life and the personality characteristic of negative affectivity. We show that they each have independent contributions to stress reactions and that high levels on both produce greater than additive effects. The effects on posttraumatic stress symptoms are substantial for both undergraduates (Study 1, n= 2,296; Study 3, n= 488) and veterans (Study 2, n= 104), with mean levels for participants low on both measures near floor on posttraumatic stress symptoms and those high on both measures scoring at or above diagnostic thresholds. Study 3 included 3 measures of narrative centrality and 3 of negative affectivity to demonstrate that the effects were not limited to a single measure. In Study 4 (n= 987), measures associated with symptoms of posttraumatic stress correlated substantially with either measures of narrative centrality or measures of negative affectivity. The concepts of narrative centrality and negative affectivity and the results are consistent with findings from clinical populations using similar measures and with current approaches to therapy. In broad nonclinical populations, such as those used here, the results suggest that we might be able to substantially increase our ability to account for the severity of stress response by including both concepts.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
