Abstract
This proposal explores the association between boredom and PTSD among 200 trauma-exposed participants using a two-step hierarchical regression model and validated measures. It seeks to determine if boredom predicts PTSD symptoms and more strongly than depression. The findings aim to inform early identification and diagnostic strategies for PTSD.
