创伤事件的创伤叙述的结构和内容相关特征可能有助于解释创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的发展。在35名女性袭击幸存者的样本中，我们检查了创伤叙述的结构和内容与创伤后应激障碍和其他创伤相关反应（即，抑郁、焦虑、愤怒、分离和内疚）。当控制叙述风格和叙述痛苦时，叙述结构与创伤后应激障碍或其他创伤相关反应没有强烈的相关性。相比之下，创伤叙述的内容（更多的积极和消极情绪的话，更高的认知过程，和更少的自我关注）与较低的创伤学。总的来说，创伤叙述的内容而不是叙述的语法结构可能更能反映创伤记忆的潜在情感处理或缺乏情感处理。
Structural and content-related features of trauma narratives of traumatic events may help explain the development of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In a sample of 35 female assault survivors, we examined the association between the structure and content of trauma narratives and PTSD and other trauma-related reactions (i.e., depression, anxiety, anger, dissociation, and guilt). When controlling for recounting style and recounting distress, narrative structure was not strongly associated with PTSD or other trauma-related reactions. In contrast, the content of the trauma narratives (more positive and negative emotion words, higher cognitive process, and less self-focus) was associated with lower symptomatology. Taken together, trauma narrative content rather than grammatical structure of the narrative may be more reflective of underlying emotional processing of the traumatic memory or lack thereof.
