Emotional Stability and Extraversion Predict Weather-Related PTSD Symptoms

Poster Session IX

Keyword: Personality Traits

Abstract: Our study examined relationships between personality traits, resilience, and weather-related PTSD. Results indicated that less emotional stability and more extraversion predicted heightened weather-related PTSD while resilience was non-significant. These results imply that personality traits may be more accurate predictors than resilience for recognizing vulnerable populations after weather-related calamities.
