Abstract
Demographic and traumatic event-related risk factors for PTSD and dissociative symptoms have been examined in prior research. However, less research has examined this issue from a person-centered statistical approach to report subgroups of clinical presentations identified based on endorsed symptoms. The present study examined the relationship between PTSD, dissociation, and anger using this approach. We utilized a sample (N = 360) of trauma-exposed adults recruited via Amazon’s Mechanical Turk. Latent profile analysis (LPA) identified distinct profiles based on the indicators of PTSD subscale scores and a dissociation total score. The following latent profiles were identified: 1) low PTSD/low dissociation, 2) moderate PTSD/moderate dissociation, and 3) high PTSD/high dissociation. Additional analyses found differential relationships between the three profiles and anger, with individuals in the high PTSD/high dissociation profile exhibiting more anger. Results shed light on the high co-occurrence between anger and PTSD symptoms.
