Abstract

In this study, to search for events that cause high levels of PTSD symptoms, traumatic events are classified into ‘criterion events’ that meet DSM-IV-TR criteria and ‘life stresssful events’, conditional probability of PTSD was confirmed. From a sample of 1,000 adults residing in South Korea, 998 statistically relevant samples were extracted. Criterion events include cases of ‘sexual harassment before age 16’, ‘sightings of other accidents’, ‘rape before 16’, ‘domestic violence before 16’, ‘disaster’, ‘traffic accidents’, ‘other accidents’. Life stressful events appeared to be ‘legal arrest or detention(person and family)’, ‘parental separation or divorce’, ‘failure or despair causing serious stress’, ‘extreme conflict with family or frequent quarrels’. Among the demographic characteristics, age, marital status, religion were found to affect PTSD symptoms. The implications and limitations of these results are discussed.
