Funded Activity Summary
Investigating anticipatory traumatic threat in refugees and asylum seekers. This project seeks to establish how traumatic threat differs from post-traumatic stress and generalised worry. Research into traumatic stress has focused on the pathogenic role of past trauma. There has been little research among populations facing ongoing traumatic threat. A cluster of future-oriented threat-related intrusive symptoms has been identified among refugees with insecure residency that is distinct from post-traumatic stress and worry. The project aims to investigate this traumatic threat response using descriptive and experimental approaches. The findings from this study may lay the foundation of a revised understanding of the human response to traumatic threat.Funded Activity Details
