Abstract

Current research suggests the importance of anxiety sensitivity (AS) in the risk for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and a growing body of research has demonstrated that difficulties in emotion regulation may also play a role. This study examined the unique relationships between AS dimensions, difficulties in emotion regulation, and a probable PTSD diagnosis among a sample of inner-city crack/cocaine dependent patients in residential substance abuse treatment. Probable PTSD participants exhibited higher levels of the AS dimension of social concerns and emotion regulation difficulties. Emotion regulation difficulties reliably distinguished probable PTSD participants from non-PTSD participants above and beyond both anxiety symptom severity and the AS dimension of social concerns. Further, social concerns did not account for unique variance when difficulties in emotion regulation was entered into the model. Results provide support for the central role of difficulties in emotion regulation relative to AS dimensions in the prediction of PTSD within a crack/cocaine dependent population.

  • For participants in the AUD-2 group, the mean DERS score of 104 corresponds to average scores reported in studies of individuals diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and PTSD symptoms at a severity level consistent with a diagnosis of PTSD.

    “For participants in the AUD-2 group, the mean DERS score of 104 corresponds to average scores reported in studies investigating emotion regulation difficulties in samples of individuals diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder (Roemer et al., 2009; Salters-Pedneault et al., 2006) and PTSD symptoms at a severity level consistent with a diagnosis of PTSD (McDermott et al., 2009; Tull, Barret, et”

    The Methods (Measures; page unavailable) identify a group whose PTSD symptom scores met a cutoff for probable PTSD, and the Results (Primary Analyses; page unavailable) report greater overall DERS difficulties in that group. The passages available from our copy do not give its mean DERS score, so they cannot establish the claimed numerical comparison with the AUD-2 mean of 104. The generalized-anxiety-disorder comparison is attributed to other citations, not McDermott et al. (LLM, conf=0.78)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
