Résumé
The present research replicated and extended the longitudinal use of analogue trauma. Undergraduate participants (n=71; 79% women) completed several measures assessing posited risk and resiliency variables. Following initial assessment, participants viewed a horror movie and were then measured immediately after the movie, at a week 1 follow-up, and at a week 4 follow up. The horror movie facilitated a substantial state anxiety response, and risk and resilience variables significantly predicted symptoms of posttraumatic distress and growth. The results support the trauma analogue paradigm and identify risk and resilience variables of potential importance for posttraumatic responses. Comprehensive results, implications, and directions for future research are discussed.
