Kristen Ruth Psy 240 Article summary #2 The title is “Posttraumatic Stress Predicting Depression and Social Support Among College Students: Moderating Effects of Race and Gender” by authors Güler Boyraz, Sharon G. Horne, Aisha P. Armstrong and Archandria C. Owens. The source in which the article came from is Psychological Trauma: Theory, Research, Practice, and Policy, Vol 7(3), May, 2015. pp. 259-268. The article contains ten pages. In the introduction they talk about the concepts they study, they examined potential gender and racial differences in the relationships between PTSD and both depression and social support among AA and EA males and females who are in their first year of college. They cited 18 references in the introduction. trauma-exposed Females were more likely to report negative responses from family and friends in comparison to men , suggesting that trauma exposure and PTSD may have more negative effects on social relationships for women than for men. the relationship between these 2 variables was strongest for EA men. Similarly, the relationship between PTSD symptoms on the avoidance cluster and social support was stronger for EA males than other groups; avoidance symptoms did not significantly predict social support for AA men. In the study, participants were recruited from a historically black college and a predominantly white institution. There were 161 African American Males and 308 African American females in the study also they were 83 European Americans that were male and 121 that were female. Trauma exposure was measured using the revised version of the SLESQ which assesses lifetime exposure to 13 Criterion A1 traumatic events. The method was studying traumatic events between male and female of two different races, they had asked over 13 different types of traumatic events, such as a life-threatening illness, an accident, being verbally abused or physically abused, etc. The used five tables and graphs to show their results the first table was named, “ Type of Traumatic Events Reported by Participants ,” Table 2 “ Bivariate Correlations, Means, Standard Deviations, and Cronbach’s Alphas for AA and EA Samples.” Table 3 “ Hierarchical Multiple Regression: Gender and Race Moderators of the PTSD–Depression Relationship.” Table 4 “ Hierarchical Multiple Regression: Gender and Race as Moderators of the Relationships Between PTSD Symptom Clusters and Perceived Social Support.” Table 5, “ Simple Slope Tests: Depression and Social Support.” The results showed that more European Americans were effected with PTSD from traumatic events than African Americans. Also more EA Males were effected than AA men concluding that the hypothesis was correct. PTSD symptomatology was significantly associated with depression symptom severity for all groups , this relationship was strongest for EA males and least strong for AA men., also examined the separate effects of PTSD symptom clusters on perceived social support. After controlling for the other variables in the model, avoidance had the

greatest effect on perceived social support. The results of the interaction analysis indicated that avoidance symptoms were associated with decreased support for all groups except for AA men. There are no appendices present.
