Although experiencing traumatic events is common, only a minority experience lasting symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In this study, we seek to better understand neural mechanisms underlying PTSD symptomology, particularly why some individuals experience greater re-experiencing and engage in more avoidance behaviors in response to stress or trauma reminders. Participants will come into the lab for a variety of tasks indexing emotional responding, cognitive control, and decision making while we record the electrical brain activity using a safe and non-invasive method called electroencephalography (EEG). Participants will then complete an ecological momentary assessment (EMA) period where they will complete brief (2-3 minute) surveys on their smart phone 4 times per day for 14 days. Following this, participants will complete a clinical interview and self-report measures at a 3 month follow up appointment. During the follow up periods, we are examining the relationship between neurobehavioral mechanisms and real-world functioning.
The participant population for the current project will be undergraduate students at Texas A&M University from the SONA subject pool (Psychological and Brain Sciences) and community members from the Bryan/ College Station area. A single group consisting of trauma exposed individuals (n=150, aged 18-65, English speaking, history of trauma exposure, endorsing intrusion and/or avoidance PTSS symptom(s) in the past month will be included.) Participants are invited for a CAPS-5, SCID-5-RV and Joiner SRA interview based on PCL-5 > 32 (a measure of PTSD).
Total participation is approximately 17.5 hours. Your participation in this study today will consist of three 2-2.5 hour laboratory visits in addition to the EMA portion in between the visits. The first clinical interview will take 1-2.5 hours. The first EEG appointment will take 2- 2.5 hours. The following EMA portion will require a time commitment of 10 hours over the course of 28 days (approx.. 20 minutes per day). The post-study appointment will take 2-2.5 hours.
For Bryan-College Station community members: They will receive $5 for the screening survey at the first in-person appointment in cash. They will receive $25 in cash for each EEG laboratory visit ($50 total) with a chance to win up to an additional $5 in cash during one of the computerized tasks at the laboratory appointment (up to $10 total). Participants will not be compensated for the clinical interview portion, as this is for eligibility purposes. Participants will receive $0.50 for completing each survey in the EMA portion of the study, with a $5 weekly bonus payment if they have 90% completion on the surveys ($90). The post-study questionnaire and EEG in lab session completion will reward the participant $45 in cash. This would add up to a possible $165 in cash for completing the EMA over the roughly 1 month period. For Texas A&M University students interested in participating for course credit through SONA, they will be given $5 in cash at the first in person appointment for the screening survey. They will receive 0.5 credits for every 30 minutes of participation (0.5 credits for the prescreen questionnaire and approximately 2-2.5 credits for the laboratory appointment with additional credit rewarded for EMA). They also have a chance to win up to an additional $5 in cash during one of the computerized tasks at the laboratory appointment (up to $10 total).
