- Abstract
- There were studied the peculiarities of life perspective in people suffered from posttraumatic stress disease and in norma. The experimental methods are presented to study qualitative structure of changes in presentation of life perspective in conditions of psychological trauma of different genesis. There were considered the emotional components of subjective vision of future (vision of future and related feelings) and the cognitive one (ability to be active in life, to plan ahead and to execute plans). The Ss were veterans of Afghanistan War (Ss = 30) and liquidators of accident at Chernobyl atomic power station (Ss = 27). It was shown that trauma gave rise to changes of presentations in emotional and cognitive components of life perspective. The tendency to distort perspective grows according to traumatic index increasing. It was found that in conditions of military trauma the most distorted component was the emotional one. In liquidators of accident at Chernobyl atomic power station planning ahead contains expected trauma that relates with the menace to health or life with no dependence on initial trauma degree.
