关于成人对潜在创伤事件的反应的研究几乎完全集中在创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)上。虽然对创伤症状的研究相对较少,但现有证据表明,此类事件后的复原力可能比以前认为的更普遍。本研究调查了911恐怖袭击后6个月内纽约地区居民的大概率样本(n = 2,752)中复原力的流行情况,复原力定义为没有PTSD症状或有一种症状。虽然许多受访者符合PTSD的标准,特别是当暴露量很高时,但在65.1%的样本中观察到了弹性。在暴露程度较高的个体中,恢复力不太普遍,但即使在PTSD最严重的暴露组中,恢复力的频率也从未低于三分之一。
Research on adult reactions to potentially traumatic events has focused almost exclusively on posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Although there has been relatively little research on the absence of trauma symptoms, the available evidence suggests that resilience following such events may be more prevalent than previously believed. This study examined the prevalence of resilience, defined as having either no PTSD symptoms or one symptom, among a large (n = 2,752) probability sample of New York area residents during the 6 months following the September 11th terrorist attack. Although many respondents met criteria for PTSD, particularly when exposure was high, resilience was observed in 65.1% of the sample. Resilience was less prevalent among more highly exposed individuals, but the frequency of resilience never fell below one third even among the exposure groups with the most dramatic elevations in PTSD.
