Psychological And Social Factors That May Impact The Severity And Chronicity Of Response To A Traumatic Event

Abstract: 10 pages in length. No two people respond the same way to a traumatic event, inasmuch as there are myriad variables responsible for the severity and chronicity of any given response. Considering such factors as trauma exposure, relationship to victim(s), severity of acute distress, perceived threat, as well as other personal vulnerabilities, the way in which an individual responds to a traumatic event is gauged by such specific factors that the same individual may not react the same way in two separate incidents. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
