問題詳情

四、閱讀測驗         For a long time, many psychologists embraced a victim narrative about trauma, believing that severe stresscauses long-lasting and perhaps irreparable damage to one's psyche and health. In 1980, post-traumatic stressdisorder (PTSD) was added to the list of mental disorders and has since received a lot of attention in the mediaand among ordinary individuals trying to understand what happens to people in the wake of tragic life events.Yet psychologists now know that only a small percentage of people develop the full-blown disorder while, onaverage, anywhere from one half to two-thirds of trauma survivors exhibit what's known as post-traumaticgrowth. After a crisis, most people acquire a newfound sense of purpose, develop deeper relationships, have agreater appreciation of life, and report other benefits.       In American culture, when people are feeling depressed or anxious, they are often advised to do whatmakes them happy; they are encouraged to distract themselves from bad news and difficult feelings, to limittheir time on social media and to exercise. However, the happy feelings one gets by doing pleasant things fadefast, and soon the sad mood takes over, plunging one into a deeper abyss of melancholy. A better strategy tocope with trauma has to do with meaning-seeking. When people search for meaning, they often do not feelhappy, because the things that make our lives meaningful, like volunteering or working, are stressful and requireeffort. But months later, the meaning seekers not only reported fewer negative moods but also felt moreenriched, inspired and part of something greater than themselves. Therefore, although none of us can avoidsuffering, we can still learn to suffer well.

長期以來,許多心理學家都接受關於創傷的受害者敘述,認為嚴重的壓力會對一個人的心理和健康造成長期且可能無法彌補的損害。 1980 年,創傷後應激障礙 (PTSD) 被添加到精神障礙列表中,此後受到媒體和普通個人的廣泛關注,試圖了解人們在悲慘的生活事件之後會發生什麼。然而,心理學家現在知道,只有一小部分人會發展成全面的疾病,而平均而言,有一半到三分之二的創傷倖存者表現出所謂的創傷後成長。危機過後,大多數人獲得了新的使命感,發展了更深的關係,對生活有了更深的理解,並報告了其他好處。       在美國文化中,當人.....看完整詳解
