这项研究试图复制先前的发现，即披露创伤可以改善身体健康，并比较披露先前披露的创伤与未披露的创伤的影响。根据抑制理论，报告未公开的创伤应该产生更大的健康益处。60名健康的大学生写下了未公开的创伤，以前公开的创伤或琐碎的事件。与预期相反，在长期健康利用和身体症状测量方面没有显著的组间差异。然而，在研究后的几个月里，与低严重程度创伤的学生相比，披露更严重创伤的学生报告的身体症状更少，并且倾向于报告比对照学生更少的症状。结果表明，健康的好处发生时，严重的创伤被披露，无论以前的披露是否已经发生。
This study sought to replicate previous findings that disclosing traumas improves physical health and to compare the effects of revealing previously disclosed versus undisclosed traumas. According to inhibition theory, reporting about undisclosed traumas should produce greater health benefits. Sixty healthy undergraduates wrote about undisclosed traumas, previously disclosed traumas, or trivial events. Contrary to expectations, there were no significant between-groups differences on longer term health utilization and physical symptom measures. However, Ss who disclosed more severe traumas reported fewer physical symptoms in the months following the study, compared with low-severity trauma Ss, and tended to report fewer symptoms than control Ss. Results suggest that health benefits occur when severe traumas are disclosed, regardless of whether previous disclosure has occurred.
