Peritraumatic dissociation and PTSD severity: do event-related fears about death and control mediate their relation?

Gershuny, Beth S., Cloitre, Marylene, Otto, Micheal W.·2003·Behaviour Research and Therapy

Abstract

Relations among peritraumatic dissociation, PTSD severity, event-related fear (i.e. fear experienced during traumatic event) about death, and event-related fear about losing control were examined in the current study. Particular emphasis was placed on testing whether or not fears about death and losing control mediate the relation between peritraumatic dissociation and PTSD severity in a sample of 146 nontreatment-seeking university women. Results indicated that event-related fears about death and losing control accounted for the relation between peritraumatic dissociation and PTSD severity; that is, the effect of peritraumatic dissociation on PTSD severity was eliminated after controlling for these fears. Speculations about findings are discussed.

  • The relationship between peritraumatic dissociation and chronic PTSD may be mediated by arousal-related factors such as fears of death and loss of control or initial symptom severity.

    “Indeed, the relationship between peritraumatic dissociation and chronic PTSD may be mediated by factors related to arousal such as fears of death and loss of control (Gershuny, Cloitre, & Otto, 2003) or initial symptom severity (Marshall & Schell, 2002; Marx & Sloan, 2005).”

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.
