摘要
Previous studies have showed that personality traits are associated with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The present study investigated the mediating effect of perceived social support between conscientiousness and PTSD in young Chinese firefighters. A total of four hundred and nine firefighters were recruited from a firefighter school in this study. The Chinese big five personality inventory, the PTSD checklist for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), and perceived social support scale were used to test personality traits, PTSD and perceived social support from family and from others. The results showed that conscientiousness has a significant positive correlation with perceived social support and has a significant negative correlation with PTSD. Moreover, support from others mediated the relationship between conscientiousness and PTSD, while support from family didn't. The results of this study suggest that support from others plays a key role in the relationship between conscientiousness and PTSD of young Chinese firefighters. Clinical implications for trauma interventions and limitations were discussed.
