The research instrument was a structured clinical interview, the Mississippi post-traumatic stress disorder scale, and the Affective and Emotional Composite Temperament (AFECT). The collected data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression analysis using step by step method in SPSS 20 software.
Findings In sum, affective temperament components explained 51% and emotional temperament components explained 32% of variance of symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (p<0.05).
