Abstract

Background and objectives: Savoring beliefs refer to people's beliefs about their ability to generate, increase, and prolong enjoyment from positive experiences. The role of these beliefs in affecting responses to negative events is largely unexplored. This study aimed to increase knowledge about the role of savoring beliefs in symptoms of posttraumatic stress (PTS) following negative life events and the incremental role of these beliefs beyond the impact of worry, depressive rumination, and neuroticism.

Design: A two-wave longitudinal survey.

Methods: Two-hundred and five students completed the Savoring Beliefs Inventory, measuring one's ability to generate pleasure from past, present, and anticipated experiences at Time 1 (T1). Six months later (at T2), they rated adverse life-events experienced between T1 and T2 and completed measures of PTS (associated with the most distressing event experienced in this time-frame) and depression.

Results: Savoring beliefs at T1 were correlated with PTS total scores and PTS clusters and depression at T2. Regression analyses indicated that savoring beliefs regarding present and future (but not past) events were associated with some, but not all T2-outcomes, above and beyond worry, depressive rumination, and neuroticism.

Conclusions: This study confirms that increased savoring beliefs could mitigate the impact of confrontation with adverse events.

品味信念能否预测生活压力事件后的创伤后应激症状？

背景和目的：品味信念指的是人们对自己从积极体验中产生、增加和延长乐趣的能力的信念。这些信念在影响人们对负面事件的反应方面所起的作用在很大程度上还没有得到探讨。本研究旨在进一步了解品味信念在负面生活事件后创伤后应激症状（PTS）中的作用，以及这些信念在担忧、抑郁反刍和神经质影响之外的递增作用：方法：两波纵向调查：方法：25 名学生完成了 "品味信念量表"，测量他们在时间 1（T1）从过去、现在和预期经历中产生愉悦感的能力。六个月后（T2），他们对 T1 和 T2 之间经历的不利生活事件进行评分，并完成创伤后应激障碍（与这段时间内经历的最痛苦事件相关）和抑郁的测量：结果：第一阶段的品味信念与第二阶段的创伤后应激反应总分、创伤后应激反应群和抑郁相关。回归分析表明，关于现在和未来（而非过去）事件的品味信念与某些（而非所有）T2结果相关，超出了担忧、抑郁反刍和神经质等因素：本研究证实，增加品味信念可减轻面对不利事件的影响。

期刊介绍： This journal provides a forum for scientific, theoretically important, and clinically significant research reports and conceptual contributions. It deals with experimental and field studies on anxiety dimensions and stress and coping processes, but also with related topics such as the antecedents and consequences of stress and emotion. We also encourage submissions contributing to the understanding of the relationship between psychological and physiological processes, specific for stress and anxiety. Manuscripts should report novel findings that are of interest to an international readership. While the journal is open to a diversity of articles.
