创伤性事件增加了对社会联系的需求，但矛盾的是，它会使关系变得更加困难。目前的研究探讨了社会代理人的独特作用，如最喜欢的电视节目，书籍和名人可能在满足经历过创伤的人的社会需求方面发挥作用。在两项研究中，我们预测并发现，经历创伤性事件与使用社会代理人的更高兴趣有关。此外，那些经历过创伤而没有发展成PTSD的人能够有效地利用社会代理人来对抗社会孤立。然而，也许是因为创伤后应激障碍的症状往往与受损的社会功能有关，那些患有创伤后应激障碍的人在使用社会替代品后实际上感觉更糟。创伤，创伤后应激障碍，社会代理人，社会自我研究的影响进行了讨论。
Traumatic events bring an increased need for social connection but paradoxically can make relationships more difficult. The current research examines the unique role social surrogates such as favorite TV shows, books, and celebrities may play in fulfilling the social needs of people who have experienced trauma. Across two studies we predicted and found that experiencing traumatic events is associated with higher interest in using social surrogates. Furthermore, individuals who have experienced trauma without developing PTSD are able to effectively use social surrogates to combat social isolation. However, perhaps because PTSD symptoms often are associated with impaired social functioning, those with PTSD actually feel worse after social surrogate use. Implications for trauma, PTSD, social surrogates, and social self research are discussed.
