我们引入了一个新的尺度，衡量一个事件对一个人的身份和生活故事的重要性。对于一个人生活中最紧张或创伤性的事件，完整的20项事件中心性量表（CES）和简短的7项量表在707名大学生的样本中是可靠的（α分别为.94和.88）。该量表与创伤后应激障碍症状严重程度的相关性为0.38，与抑郁症的相关性为0.23。目前的研究结果进行了讨论有关PTSD症状的个体差异以前的工作。CES和适应不良归因和反刍措施之间可能存在的联系被认为是沿着与未来研究的建议。(c)2005爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
We introduce a new scale that measures how central an event is to a person's identity and life story. For the most stressful or traumatic event in a person's life, the full 20-item Centrality of Event Scale (CES) and the short 7-item scale are reliable (alpha's of .94 and .88, respectively) in a sample of 707 undergraduates. The scale correlates.38 with PTSD symptom severity and .23 with depression. The present findings are discussed in relation to previous work on individual differences related to PTSD symptoms. Possible connections between the CES and measures of maladaptive attributions and rumination are considered along with suggestions for future research. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
