Abstract

Trauma may lead to different psychological changes, both detrimental or beneficial. This study aimed to a better understanding of these consequences by exploring the relations between traumatic experiences and: Posttraumatic growth (PTG), posttraumatic cognitions (PTC), and personality. Mexican university students (n = 161) answered the Global Assessment of Posttraumatic Stress, the Posttraumatic Cognitions Inventory, the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, and the Millon Multiaxial Inventory. Participants showed a high prevalence of traumatic exposure, standard personality scores, and PTC and PTG presence. Self-blame cognitions were higher in persons with intentional trauma, and guilt was positively associated with PTG. Histrionic personality was associated positively with PTG and negatively with PTC. Mental health implications are discussed.

摘要

创伤可能导致不同的心理变化，无论是有害的还是有益的。本研究旨在通过探索创伤经历与：创伤后成长 (PTG)、创伤后认知 (PTC) 和人格之间的关系来更好地理解这些后果。墨西哥大学生 ( n = 161) 回答了创伤后压力的全球评估、创伤后认知量表、创伤后成长量表和 Millon 多轴量表。参与者表现出创伤性暴露、标准人格评分以及 PTC 和 PTG 存在的高流行率。故意创伤患者的自责认知更高，内疚与 PTG 呈正相关。表演型人格与 PTG 呈正相关，与 PTC 呈负相关。讨论了心理健康影响。
