“…However, interpersonal difficulties are not specific to depression, and interpersonal perception may mediate the association between other forms of psychopathology and interpersonal difficulties. In fact, there is preliminary evidence that the stress-generation model is applicable to other disorders (e.g., anxiety; Uliaszek et al, 2012) that are also associated with biased interpersonal perception (e.g., Gilboa-Schechtman et al, 2008). Future research should examine our proposed model not only for depression but also for other disorders.…”

“…Additionally, the stress generation hypothesis suggests that individuals who experience internalizing symptomatology tend to encounter subsequent life stress, because they select into stressful situations and because their interpersonal styles evoke stress in their ongoing relationships (Hammen, 2005); longitudinal analyses have supported this proposition for adolescents experiencing both depression and anxiety (Cole et al, 2006;Harkness & Stewart, 2009;Uliaszek et al, 2012). Heightened life stress resulting from the motivational, cognitive, and biological impairments inherent to internalizing symptomatology will likely disrupt adolescents' ability to succeed in achievement-related contexts.…”

a b s t r a c tPrior research has documented negative, concurrent relations between internalizing symptomatology and academic achievement among adolescents. The present study provided the first rigorous, longitudinal examination of the bi-directional, prospective relations between adolescent internalizing symptomatology and academic achievement. One hundred and thirty adolescents reported depression and anxiety annually from 6th through 10th grades, and GPA records were obtained annually from schools. Results showed that (a) high depression and anxiety at the beginning of a school year predicted lower GPA during that school year, and (b) low GPA in any school year predicted higher depression and anxiety at the beginning of the following school year. These findings underscore the tight link between adolescent internalizing symptomatology and academic achievement.

“…These findings suggest that exposure to stress was not random but instead was partially accounted for by PTSD. Another recent longitudinal study examined the effects of anxiety disorders, in general, on exposure to life stress in a sample of 627 adolescents (Uliaszek et al, 2012). Anxiety disorders predicted higher episodic (but not chronic) life stress one year post-assessment after controlling for baseline levels of life stress, and neuroticism partially accounted for this relationship.…”

Identifying the factors that influence stability and change in chronic posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is important for improving clinical outcomes. Using a cross-lagged design, we analyzed the reciprocal effects of personality and PTSD symptoms over time and their effects on stress exposure in a sample of 222 trauma-exposed veterans (ages 23 -68; 90.5% male). Personality functioning and PTSD were measured approximately 4 years apart, and self-reported exposure to major adverse life events during the interim was also assessed. Negative emotionality positively predicted future PTSD symptoms, and this effect was partially mediated by exposure to new events. Constraint (negatively) indirectly affected PTSD via its association with exposure to new events. There were no significant effects of positive emotionality nor did PTSD symptom severity exert influences on personality over time. Results indicate that high negative affect and disconstraint influence the course of PTSD symptoms by increasing exposure to stressful life events.Keywords stress exposure; personality; posttraumatic stress; longitudinal; veterans Although most individuals who develop posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after a traumatic life event recover, a substantial minority develop chronic symptoms that persist for years and fluctuate over time (Chapman et al., 2012;Perkonigg et al., 2005;Solomon & Mikulincer, 2006). Chronic PTSD is a dynamic and environmentally-sensitive condition characterized by periods of symptom exacerbation and relative remission. Identifying predictors of stability and change in PTSD is critical for understanding why symptoms persist and reemerge over time, detecting individuals at risk for chronic trajectories, and improving outcomes for intractable cases.

Reciprocal Influences of Personality and PTSDPsychopathology researchers have had a long-standing interest in the interplay of personality and psychopathology, including in relation to PTSD. PTSD shows large concurrent relations with neuroticism and negative emotionality (Pearson's r = 0.49; Kotov et al., 2010), which are closely related constructs that refer to the tendency to experience high levels of distress and a range of negative affect. In contrast, personality traits that measure the tendency to have a positive, outgoing disposition (e.g., extraversion/ positive emotionality) or behave in a controlled, cautious manner (e.g., conscientiousness/low disconstraint) show relatively weaker negative associations with PTSD (Pearson's rs = −0.25 and −0.27, respectively; Kotov et al., 2010).
