Abstract

This study is aimed to cross-culturally examine the differences of trauma related emotions such as betrayal, self-blame, fear, alienation, anger, and shame between Korea and the U.S. Total of 489 college students(Korea 266, U.S. 223) who have experienced various types of traumatic event responded to Trauma Appraisal Questionnaire(DePrince, Zurbriggen, Chu, & Smart, 2010) and Posttraumatic Diagnostic Scale(Ahn, 2005). First, using MIMIC(multiple-indicators multiple-causes) model, a special type of SEM (Strucutral Equation Modeling), we examined the differences of trauma related emotions between two samples, controlling for effects of type of traumatic event, gender and posttraumatic stress response. The MIMIC analysis showed that compared to Korean sample, the U.S. sample had higher score for alienation and lower score for fear, with medium effect sizes. Then, regression analysis was conducted to identify effects of trauma related emotions on PDS in each group. The result indicated that fear and betrayal (Korea), fear and alienation (U.S.) were significant predictors of PDS when the type of traumatic event was adjusted. The clinical implications and limitations of these results as well as suggestions for further research were discussed.
