2011年，一场致命的龙卷风袭击了密苏里州的乔普林，造成158人死亡。在灾难发生6个月后，我们对乔普林成年居民(N=380)进行了随机数字拨号电话调查，以考察灾难经历、创伤后应激症状和灾难人际沟通之间的关系。我们发现，龙卷风经历和灾难导致的PTS症状与更多的关于事件的人际沟通有关。考虑到灾难经历的性质，了解创伤后应激障碍症状与灾难人际沟通之间的关系被证明是重要的，因为创伤后应激障碍症状与直接受风暴影响的人与邻居更多交谈，以及对未直接受影响的人更多地参加社区会议有关。对于那些住在乔普林的人来说，与不认识某人的人相比，更多的PTS症状与与朋友、家人和邻居交谈的次数更多，以及参加社区会议的次数更多有关。
In 2011 a deadly tornado struck Joplin, Missouri, killing 158 people. Six months after this disaster, we conducted a random digit dialing telephone survey of Joplin adult residents (N=380) to examine the relationships between disaster experience, posttraumatic stress (PTS) symptoms, and disaster interpersonal communication. We found that tornado experience and PTS symptoms resulting from the disaster were related to more interpersonal communication about the event. Considering the nature of disaster experience in understanding the relationships between PTS symptoms and disaster interpersonal communication proved important, as PTS symptoms were related to more talk with neighbors for those directly affected by the storm and more attendance at community meetings for those not directly affected. For those living in Joplin who knew someone who died, more PTS symptoms were related to more talk with friends, family, and neighbors and more attendance at community meetings relative to those who did not know someone.
