先前的研究已经将从文本叙述中提取的内容分析与创伤幸存者的精神病理学联系起来。本研究采用纵向设计，以确定是否语言元素的叙事记忆的第一次听到有关2001年9月11日的事件预测后来的创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）。叙述和自我报告的PTSD症状收集在1？在9/11事件后的5周和5个月，40名大学生再次被调查。在时间1使用更多“我们”字的人急性PTSD症状较少。在时间1使用更多的认知机制词，更多的宗教词，更多的第一人称单数代词，更少的焦虑词与更多的慢性PTSD症状有关。语言特征解释了慢性PTSD症状在急性PTSD症状之上的差异。这项研究提供的证据表明，持久的PTSD症状可以通过语言在创伤后立即预测。版权所有（C）2011约翰威利父子有限公司
Prior research has linked content analysis drawn from text narratives to psychopathology in trauma survivors. This study used a longitudinal design to determine whether linguistic elements of narrative memories of first hearing about the events of 11 September 2001 predict later post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Narratives and self-report PTSD symptoms were collected within 1?week and again 5months after 9/11 in 40 undergraduates. People who used more we words at Time 1 had fewer acute PTSD symptoms. Use of more cognitive mechanism words, more religion words, more first-person singular pronouns, and fewer anxiety words at Time 1 were related to more chronic PTSD symptoms. Linguistic characteristics accounted for variance in chronic PTSD symptoms above and beyond acute PTSD symptoms. This study provides evidence that lasting PTSD symptoms can be predicted through language in the immediate aftermath of the trauma. Copyright (C) 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
