本研究以童年乱伦受害者为研究对象,采用横断面和纵向研究方法,探讨了时间取向与长期心理困扰的关系。越南战争退伍军人,和居民的2个南部加州社区被大火摧毁。结果表明,过去的时间取向,集中注意力在以前的生活经验,与创伤后孤独的痛苦水平升高。即使在控制所报告的反刍程度时也是如此。创伤发生时的时间解体,即现在的时刻与过去和未来时间的连续性相隔离,这与随着时间的推移和随后的痛苦,过去的时间取向高度相关。在经历过最严重的损失、之前经历过慢性创伤、身份受到创伤经历威胁的个体中,时间解体的程度最高。
The relations between temporal orientation and long-term psychological distress were studied cross-sectionally and longitudinally in 3 samples of traumatized individuals: adult victims of childhood incest. Vietnam War veterans, and residents of 2 southern California communities devastated by fire. Results indicated that a past temporal orientation-focusing attention on prior life experiences-was associated with elevated levels of distress lone after the trauma had passed. even when controlling for the degree of rumination reported. Temporal disintegration at the time of the trauma-whereby the present moment becomes isolated from the continuity of past and future time-was associated with a high degree of past temporal orientation over time and subsequent distress. Temporal disintegration was highest among individuals who had experienced the most severe loss, had previously experienced chronic trauma, and had had their identities threatened by their traumatic experience.
