Attachment and post-traumatic stress in victims of interpersonal trauma: The mediating role of emotion-focused coping
Title
Attachment and post-traumatic stress in victims of interpersonal trauma: The mediating role of emotion-focused coping
Description
Two studies examined whether negative emotion-focused coping accounts for associations between attachment insecurity and post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTS). Victims of physical or sexual assault (N Study1 = 71; N Study2 = 250) completed measures of attachment, negative emotion-focused coping, and PTS. Associations between attachment-avoidance and PTS were mediated by suppressive emotion-focused coping, and associations between attachment-anxiety and PTS were mediated by ruminative emotion-focused coping. Results replicated across two independent samples, but also supported a generalized view of the mediating processes involved.
