“…This was also evident in elevated PTSD rates among these POWs (see Solomon et al, 1994). These changes have been consistently demonstrated to characterize survivors of trauma (e.g., Kluznik et al, 1986;Solomon, 1993;Sutker, Thomason, & Allain., 1989). We concluded that, in fact, our findings suggest that the imbalance in the trauma literature, which is focused on the negative outcomes of exposure to trauma and neglects the positive consequences, reflecting the state of the present mode of trauma research, instead of some kind of bias.…”

Coping with war captivity: The role of sensation seeking

et al. 1995

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study examines the implication of both sensation seeking and the subjective appraisal of captivity in the long-term adjustment of ex-prisoners of war (ex-POWs). 164 Israeli ex-PO Ws and 184 comparable controls were studied, 18 years after their participation in the Yom Kippur War. The findings indicate that high-sensation seekers adjusted better than low-sensation seekers to the stresses of captivity. Low-sensation-seeking ex-PO Ws reported more PTSD symptoms, more severe psychiatric symptomatology, and more intense intrusive and avoidance tendencies. High-and low-sensation-seeking PO Ws differed also in feelings when taken prisoner, subjective assessment of suffering in prison, ways of coping with prison, and emotional states during captivity. The present study supports the postulation that sensation seeking is an important stress-buffering personal resource. The role of coping styles in long-term adjustment following war captivity is discussed.
