TI  - Physiological responsiveness of motor vehicle accident survivors with chronic 
      posttraumatic stress disorder.
PG  - 51-62
AB  - This study sought to replicate past research that has shown differences in 
      physiological responsiveness among survivors of motor vehicle accidents (MVAs) 
      with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and those survivors who do not develop 
      this disorder. Such physiological differences have been found specifically with 
      heart rate (HR) reactivity. This study also attempts to account for differences 
      among those survivors with PTSD who do respond physiologically in laboratory 
      situations and those who do not show a physiological response when presented with 
      audiotaped descriptions of their accidents. Results replicated the significant 
      differences in HR reactivity between diagnostic groups with chronic PTSD versus 
      those with subsyndromal PTSD and non-PTSD. Variables related to the severity of 
      the diagnosis and trauma were found to discriminate between physiological 
      responders and nonresponders with chronic PTSD.
