Abstract

Purpose: Personality characteristics, including resilience, are understood to be among the factors determining the occurrence of negative consequences of exposure to trauma. The aim of the study was to establish the relationship between type D personality, resilience and symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in adolescents exposed to traumatic experiences, including the mediating role of resilience itself. Methods: The study involved 110 adolescents aged 17-18 years, of whom 99 (90%) declared experiencing at least one traumatic event in their lives. This group included 57 boys and 42 girls. Four measurement tools were used in the research, i.e. the Life Events Checklist (LEC-5), the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5), the Type D Scale (DS-14) and the Resilience Assessment Scale. Results: The most frequent traumatic events reported by the examined adolescents were: transport accident, fire/explosion, and physical assault. Slightly more than 21% of respondents were revealed as having a high probability of developing PTSD symptoms. Both dimensions of type D personality, i.e. negative affectivity and social inhibition, are negatively related to resilience and positively with PTSD – the strongest with negative changes in the cognitive and emotional sphere. Resilience is negatively associated with PTSD and plays a mediating role in relation between social inhibition and PTSD. Conclusions: Reducing the severity of negative affectivity and social inhibition and increasing resilience may reduce the level of PTSD symptoms in adolescents exposed to the trauma.
青少年D型人格与创伤后应激症状——心理弹性的中介作用
目的:人格特征,包括恢复力,被认为是决定创伤暴露的负面后果发生的因素之一。本研究旨在探讨创伤经历青少年D型人格、心理弹性与创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)症状之间的关系,包括心理弹性本身的中介作用。方法:研究涉及110名17-18岁的青少年,其中99人(90%)声称在他们的生活中至少经历过一次创伤性事件。这一组包括57名男孩和42名女孩。研究采用生活事件量表(LEC-5)、DSM-5创伤后应激障碍量表(PCL-5)、D型量表(DS-14)和心理弹性评估量表四种测量工具。结果:受访青少年最常见的创伤性事件为交通事故、火灾/爆炸和人身攻击。略多于21%的受访者被显示有很高的可能性出现创伤后应激障碍症状。D型人格的两个维度,即消极情感和社会抑制,与心理弹性呈负相关,与创伤后应激障碍呈正相关,其中认知和情感领域的负变化最强。心理弹性与创伤后应激障碍呈负相关,并在社会抑制与创伤后应激障碍之间起中介作用。结论:减轻负性情感和社交抑制的严重程度,提高心理弹性,可降低创伤青少年PTSD的症状水平。
