尽管高水平的压力暴露，问题仍然是关于社会交往和情感的信念如何相互作用，以影响创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的消防员。美国城市消防员（N = 225）完成了人际支持评估表，不支持的社会互动清单，情感控制量表，创伤后应激障碍检查表。每个独立变量预测PTSD超出人口统计学变量解释的方差。此外，情绪恐惧是PTSD最强的个体预测因子，也是社会交往与PTSD症状之间关系的调节因子。这些发现强调了情感信念的重要性，无论是在这些信念如何影响PTSD症状的表达，还是在创伤幸存者的社交网络如何缓冲痛苦方面。
Despite high levels of exposure to stress, questions remain regarding how social interactions and beliefs about emotion interact to influence posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in firefighters. United States urban firefighters (N = 225) completed the Interpersonal Support Evaluation List, the Unsupportive Social Interactions Inventory, the Affective Control Scale, and the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist. Each independent variable predicted PTSD beyond variance accounted for by demographic variables. Additionally, fear of emotion emerged as the strongest individual predictor of PTSD and a moderator of the relation between social interactions and PTSD symptoms. These findings emphasize the importance of beliefs about emotion both in how these beliefs might influence the expression of PTSD symptoms, and in how the social networks of trauma survivors might buffer distress.
