Skin Conductance Reactivity as a Predictor of Stroke-Induced Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptoms: A Dimensional Approach

Figure 2

Scatterplots for unadjusted associations between skin conductance (SC) reactivity to recalling the traumatic event and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms at 1 month that developed in response to the stroke/transient ischemic attack event. Plots display (a) total PTSD symptom severity, (b) higher-order fear symptoms, (c) higher-order dysphoria symptoms, (d) lower-order fear symptom dimensions (anxious arousal, avoidance, and reexperiencing), and (e) lower-order dysphoria symptom dimensions (emotional numbing and dysphoric arousal).
