Background:
Past research has suggested that people from Asian countries might engage differently in the development and maintenance of PTSD. Understanding this difference has a significant impact on the development of treatments for victims from culturally diverse backgrounds. In particular, the study is hoping to look at whether east-Asian population have different emotional regulation and appraisal strategies concerning traumatic events.
过去的研究表明，比起西方人，来自亚洲国家的人们会以不同的形式对创伤事件作出反应。了解这种差异对为来自不同文化背景的创伤后应激障碍受害者开发治疗方案具有重大意义。具体来说，该研究项目想研究来自东亚的创伤后应激障碍受害者是否有着与西方人不同的情绪调节和认知评估策略。
