Investigating Emotion Regulation, Perceived Social Support, and Self-Blame in a Military Sexual Trauma-Related PTSD Treatment-Seeking Sample

We examined predictors of self-blame among 36 military personnel/veterans seeking military sexual trauma-related PTSD treatment (64% Female; M_age = 47.11). Emotion regulation difficulties—but not perceived social support—significantly predicted self-blame. In stratified analyses, emotion regulation remained significant predictors for both sexes; perceived social support trended toward significance for females only.
