事件中心性量表（CES）测量创伤记忆在多大程度上形成个人身份的核心组成部分，生活故事的转折点和日常推理的参考点。在两项研究中，我们发现CES与PTSD症状的严重程度呈正相关，即使控制了焦虑，抑郁，解离和自我意识的测量。这一发现与普遍认为创伤记忆与生活故事的整合不良是PTSD症状的主要原因的观点相矛盾。相反，增强集成似乎是一个关键问题。版权所有（c）2006约翰威利父子有限公司。
The Centrality of Event Scale (CES) measures the extent to which a traumatic memory forms a central component of personal identity, a turning point in the life story and a reference point for everyday inferences. In two studies, we show that the CES is positively correlated with severity of PTSD symptoms, even when controlling for measures of anxiety, depression, dissociation and self-consciousness. The findings contradict the widespread view that poor integration of the traumatic memory into one's life story is a main cause of PTSD symptoms. Instead, enhanced integration appears to be a key issue. Copyright (c) 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
