为了评估在临床人群中写下创伤性事件对健康的影响，98名精神病院的囚犯被随机分配到三种情况中的一种，在三种情况下，他们被要求写下他们对令人沮丧的经历最深刻的想法和感受（创伤写作条件），写一些琐碎的话题（琐碎写作控制），或者不写日常生活（无写作控制）。两组每天写作20分钟，连续3天。在创伤条件下的参与者报告说，相对于其他条件下的参与者，在干预后经历了更多的身体症状。尽管如此，控制写作前的医务室访问，创伤写作条件下的性犯罪者减少了写作后的医务室访问。这些结果与基于污名化和抑制的预测一致。
To assess the health effects of writing about traumatic events in a clinical population, 98 psychiatric prison inmates were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 conditions in which they were asked to write about their deepest thoughts and feelings surrounding upsetting experiences (trauma writing condition), write about trivial topics (trivial writing control), or go about their daily routine without writing (no-writing control). Both writing groups wrote for 20 min per day for 3 consecutive days. Participants in the trauma condition reported experiencing more physical symptoms subsequent to the intervention relative to those in the other conditions. Despite this, controlling for prewriting infirmary visits, sex offenders in the trauma writing condition decreased their postwriting infirmary visits. These results are congruent with predictions based on stigmatization and inhibition.
