Personality scales as predictors of older combat veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder

Psychological Reports
L Hyer, S Boyd

Abstract

The sparse literature on Posttraumatic Stress Disorder among older combat veterans has not explored individual personality styles. 120 older combat veterans who were treatment-seeking in medical and psychiatric outpatient clinics, were assessed whether two personality styles (identified in other research as potentially reflective of PTSD) added to the problems of PTSD beyond the information associated with the stressors of combat and aging. Analyses indicated that the personality style, Sensitivity, was significantly related to PTSD beyond these other factors.
