Description

The purpose of the present study was to investigate effects on mental and physical health of structured disclosure of trauma. Participants (25 undergraduate students) were randomly assigned to one of the following groups: (a) structured disclosure of trauma (S) , (b) free disclosure of trauma (F) , and (c) a control group (C) . Over a 3-day period, all participants completed daily written reports in 20-30 minute sessions. To promote cognitive reappraisal, the structured disclosure group was required to follow detailed instructions when describing a trauma. The free disclosure group was asked to describe a trauma freely, as they remembered it. The control group was asked to write about a neutral topic. The findings suggested that endocrine functions in the structured and free recall groups were maintained to improvement. Furthermore, the results for cognitive functions showed a significant tendency for the structured recall group to get higher working-memory scores, compared to the control group.
