Abstract

Background: The words people use in everyday life tell us about their emotions, their mental state and allow us to understand how people process and interpret an event. Previous research has established a link between the content analysis of narrative texts and the psychopathology of people who have experienced trauma.Objectives: This study examines whether the development of PTSD following exposure to a previous traumatic event alters the way people express themselves in the context of an anxiety-provoking event, the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods: This study is based on semi-structured interviews conducted during the first lockdown period in France (23 April-16 May 2020) with people exposed to the 13 November 2015 attacks (N = 31) and nonexposed people (N = 57).Results: People with PTSD had longer narratives and used more first-person singular pronouns, lower first-person plural pronouns, more words related to negative emotions and anxiety compared to the nonexposed group. Within the PTSD group, there was no significant difference between the use of words related to the attacks and the pandemic. Conversely, the nonexposed group used more words related to the COVID-19 pandemic compared to words related to the attacks.Conclusion: These results confirm, as have other studies, that a history of PTSD can specifically modify the style and narrative of past experiences. They underline the importance of including linguistic analyses in psychological assessments of PTSD.

在 COVID-19 大流行期间,创伤后应激障碍病史改变了人们的表达方式。
背景介绍人们在日常生活中使用的词语告诉我们他们的情绪和心理状态,并让我们了解人们如何处理和解释某一事件。以往的研究已经证实,叙事文本的内容分析与经历过创伤的人的精神病理学之间存在联系:本研究探讨了创伤后应激障碍的发展是否会改变人们在 COVID-19 大流行这一令人焦虑的事件中表达自己的方式:本研究基于在法国第一次封锁期间(2020年4月23日至5月16日)进行的半结构化访谈,访谈对象为2015年11月13日袭击事件的暴露者(31人)和非暴露者(57人):与非暴露组相比,创伤后应激障碍患者的叙述时间较长,使用的第一人称单数代词较多,第一人称复数代词较少,与负面情绪和焦虑有关的词语较多。在创伤后应激障碍组中,与袭击和大流行有关的词语使用没有明显差异。相反,与袭击相关的词语相比,未接触人群使用了更多与 COVID-19 大流行相关的词语:这些结果证实,与其他研究结果一样,创伤后应激障碍病史会特别改变过去经历的风格和叙述方式。它们强调了将语言分析纳入创伤后应激障碍心理评估的重要性。

期刊介绍: The European Journal of Psychotraumatology (EJPT) is a peer-reviewed open access interdisciplinary journal owned by the European Society of Traumatic Stress Studies (ESTSS). The European Journal of Psychotraumatology (EJPT) aims to engage scholars, clinicians and researchers in the vital issues of how to understand, prevent and treat the consequences of stress and trauma, including but not limited to, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depressive disorders, substance abuse, burnout, and neurobiological or physical consequences, using the latest research or clinical experience in these areas. The journal shares ESTSS’ mission to advance and disseminate scientific knowledge about traumatic stress. Papers may address individual events, repeated or chronic (complex) trauma, large scale disasters, or violence. Being open access, the European Journal of Psychotraumatology is also evidence of ESTSS’ stand on free accessibility of research publications to a wider community via the web. The European Journal of Psychotraumatology seeks to attract contributions from academics and practitioners from diverse professional backgrounds, including, but not restricted to, those in mental health, social sciences, and health and welfare services. Contributions from outside Europe are welcome. The journal welcomes original basic and clinical research articles that consolidate and expand the theoretical and professional basis of the field of traumatic stress; Review articles including meta-analyses; short communications presenting new ideas or early-stage promising research; study protocols that describe proposed or ongoing research; case reports examining a single individual or event in a real‑life context; clinical practice papers sharing experience from the clinic; letters to the Editor debating articles already published in the Journal; inaugural Lectures; conference abstracts and book reviews. Both quantitative and qualitative research is welcome.
