On October 7, 2023, a large-scale attack in southern Israel and the subsequent war resulted extensive loss of life injuries, with many individuals experiencing traumatic losses, such as family members or close friends being killed kidnapped. This study aims to longitudinally examine its effects on mental health, specifically, clinical symptoms anxiety, depression, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). We anticipated greater symptom severity among who experienced loss, were forcibly...
Survivors of childhood maltreatment (CM) often experience self-stigma, the internalization negative attitudes such as shame, self-blame, and a reluctance to disclose their experiences. These self-perceptions pose significant barrier treatment-seeking may exacerbate psychiatric distress. Prior research indicates that social contact-based interventions are effective in reducing stigma, but no study date has examined impact on self-stigma increasing openness among CM survivors. This assessed...
The way we interpret information shapes our perception of reality. Predictive processing frameworks propose that the ability to update interpretations based on disconfirming is key recovery from potentially traumatic events (PTEs). However, direct evidence for this assumption scarce and comes studies using paradigms with low ecological validity. Here, investigate association between inflexible interpretation updating (IIU) symptoms posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in a comprehensive...
Background: Morally injurious events (MIEs), encompassing personal transgressions, witnessing others commit or experiencing betrayal by leaders, can conflict with one's moral/ethical principles, evoking outrage and profound mistrust. Although MIEs are associated depression, PTSD, anxiety, the mechanisms linking to psychiatric symptomatology remain unclear, especially among civilians in times of collective trauma.
Background: Childhood maltreatment is a risk factor for developing multiple forms of psychopathology, including depression, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and anxiety. Yet, the mechanisms linking childhood these psychopathologies remain less clear.
Perceived social support is an established predictor of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after exposure to a traumatic event. Gender important factor that could differentiate responses support, yet this has been little explored. Symptoms complex PTSD are also common following trauma but have under-researched in context. Large scale studies with culturally diverse samples particularly lacking.
Childhood maltreatment (CM) is associated with various mental health disorders, including PTSD, depression, and anxiety. This study explores how specific classifications – dichotomous (abuse versus neglect) dimensional (physical, emotional, sexual) relate to distinct psychopathologies. We recruited 642 individuals, screening them for CM history symptoms. ANOVA, regression, SEM analyses compared approaches symptom associations. The approach showed significant effects of abuse neglect on all...
Abstract Childhood maltreatment (CM) is thought to be associated with altered responses social stimuli and interpersonal signals. However, limited evidence exists that CM linked larger comfortable distance (CID) – the physical humans prefer towards others during interactions. no previous study has investigated this association in a comprehensive sample, yielding sufficient statistical power. Moreover, preliminary findings are European region. Finally, it unclear how affects CID different...
Several studies have found evidence of altered cortisol levels in patients with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Based on these findings, it is assumed that may show signs dysregulation after trauma. Posttrauma are thus considered a potential biomarker PTSD. However, longitudinal using indicators long-term secretion such as hair concentrations (HCC) scarce. The current study investigated prospective associations between HCC and PTSD symptoms sample Dutch firefighters taking into account...
Background: Previous research indicates that PTSD patients may show alterations in interpersonal distance regulation (IDR). However, it is not clear whether altered IDR correlated with psychopathology after trauma and attentional processes might be involved these alterations. Objective: The current study investigated processing a sample of Israeli firefighters. Method: Twenty-four participants completed an experimental task as well measures anxiety. During the task, event-related potentials...
Recent accounts of predictive processing in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) suggest that trauma-exposed individuals struggle to update trauma-related hypotheses predicting danger, which may be involved the etiology and maintenance this disorder. Initial research supports account, documenting an association between trauma-exposure, impaired expectation updating, PTSD symptoms. Yet, no study date has examined biased belief updating using a scenario-based approach.
