Article Synopsis
- - Comparative thinking plays a significant role in how individuals with PTSD process social, temporal, and counterfactual situations, with evidence showing distorted perceptions in these areas linked to PTSD symptoms.
- - A review of literature found a total of 36 studies, but insufficient data for a meta-analysis on social and temporal thinking; meanwhile, a meta-analysis of 24 samples revealed a medium to large positive association between PTSD and counterfactual thinking.
- - The studies mainly used cross-sectional data, which limits understanding of causality; thus, more high-quality longitudinal and experimental research is necessary to explore how comparative thinking influences PTSD and its treatment.
