Trigger warnings also did not reduce anxiety among people who met a clinical cutoff for PTSD symptoms, reported a diagnosis of PTSD, or reported that the stimuli matched the content of their past trauma.

Even when trigger warnings mention content only, the implicit message that trauma survivors are vulnerable remains (Why else provide a warning?). These messages may reinforce the notion that trauma is invariably a watershed event that causes permanent psychological change.

This suggests that increasing trauma centrality is directly countertherapeutic. In other words, trigger warnings may harm survivors by increasing trauma centrality.<\/p><p>We tested whether the severity of PTSD symptoms in our sample moderated any of our tested hypotheses. In most cases, we found either evidence for no moderation or ambiguous evidence. However, we did find substantial evidence that PTSD symptoms moderated the effect of trigger warnings on response anxiety. For individuals who had more severe PTSD, trigger warnings increased anxiety. This effect is ironic in the sense that trigger warnings may be most harmful for the individuals they were designed to protect. We found no evidence that individuals\u2019 prior exposure to trigger warnings moderated any of the previous effects.<\/p><p>A limitation of past research was that trigger warnings were primarily tested among individuals who were trauma-na\u00efve or in mixed samples. That is, the possibility remained that despite being unhelpful for most who view them, trigger warnings may have been helpful for trauma survivors or individuals with PTSD. In this study, we find no evidence supporting this possibility. Trigger warnings were not helpful for trauma survivors. For individuals who met a clinical cutoff for severity of PTSD symptoms, trigger warnings slightly\u00a0<i>increased<\/i>\u00a0anxiety. Trigger warnings were not helpful for individuals who self-reported a diagnosis of PTSD. Perhaps most convincingly, trigger warnings were not helpful even when they warned about content that closely matched survivors\u2019 traumas. That is, when considering only the passages that participants reported as reminding them of past trauma, trigger warnings were still unhelpful.<\/p><p>Although the research base on trigger warnings has grown quickly, several constraints on generality regarding trigger warnings still remain. For example, experiments thus far have tested trigger warnings before short-term stimuli, such as literature passages, film clips, and photos. Studies have tested only a limited range of negative psychological outcomes (e.g., self-report anxiety, negative affect, intrusive memory). Our study provides important information about individuals who have suffered from trauma, many of whom met the clinical threshold for PTSD symptoms. However, it does not provide information about individuals diagnosed with PTSD via clinical interview. It is unclear whether our findings (especially concerning evidence of potential harms) would apply to extended classroom discussions or other situations of greater temporal duration. In addition, whether the potentially negative effects of trigger warnings found thus far have more than short-term adverse effects remains uncertain. Nevertheless, these potential constraints on generality do not imply that trigger warnings are\u00a0<i>helpful<\/i>. Rather, they imply that potential moderators remain untested.<\/p><p>Public arguments regarding trigger warnings have been politically charged, complex, and data-poor. Recent research on trigger warnings can importantly inform or perhaps even settle some of these debates. The research suggests that trigger warnings are unhelpful for trauma survivors, college students, trauma-na\u00efve individuals, and mixed groups of participants (<a id=\"focusIdbibr3-2167702620921341305\" class=\"ref showRefEvent2\" role=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/2167702620921341#\" data-rid=\"bibr3-2167702620921341\" data-ref-text=\"Bellet et al., 2018\" data-reflink=\"bibr3-2167702620921341\" data-referenceslink=\" Bellet B.

Given this consistent conclusion, we find no evidence-based reason for educators, administrators, or clinicians to use trigger warnings.<\/p><p>Whether trigger warnings are explicitly harmful is less clear. We found evidence that trigger warnings increase the narrative centrality of trauma among survivors, which is countertherapeutic (<a id=\"focusIdbibr6-2167702620921341309\" class=\"ref showRefEvent2\" style=\"color: #006acc; text-decoration: none;\" role=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/2167702620921341#\" data-rid=\"bibr6-2167702620921341\" data-ref-text=\"Boals &amp; Murrell, 2016\" data-reflink=\"bibr6-2167702620921341\" data-referenceslink=\" Boals A., Murrell A.

We also found that trigger warnings increase anxiety for those with more severe symptoms of PTSD. Although these effects were preregistered and found in a large sample, the sizes of the effects were small and have not yet been rigorously tested across multiple studies. However, such knowledge is unnecessary to adjudicate whether to use trigger warnings\u2014if there is no good reason to deploy them in the first place, we need not require strong evidence of harm before abandoning them. Trigger warnings should serve as an important caution to both clinical and nonclinical professionals who use interventions aimed to improve well-being among trauma survivors. Such practices should be thoroughly vetted via appropriate scientific techniques before they are adopted. Using unvetted interventions is irresponsible to victims of trauma.<\/p><h5><a href=\"https:\/\/empathymatters.org\/now\/carl-rogers?\/#research\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/empathymatters.org\/now\/carl-rogers?\/#research<\/a><\/h5><h5>\u00a0REF:<\/h5><h5><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/2167702620921341\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/2167702620921341<\/a><\/h5><hr style=\"color: #919090; background-color: #919090; height: 2px; border: none;\" \/><p>The clinical notion of triggering dates back far as 1918, when psychologists tried to\u00a0 make sense of &#8220;war neurosis&#8221; in World War I, and later World War II, veterans. The term &#8220;post-traumatic stress disorder&#8221; came into use after the Vietnam War, but was not recognized as a diagnosable affliction until 1980. Then, psychologists started to work with clients to identify possible PTSD &#8220;triggers,&#8221; or a sensory input that somehow resembles the original trauma. But anticipating them is\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nimh.nih.gov\/health\/publications\/post-traumatic-stress-disorder-research-fact-sheet\/index.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">notoriously difficult<\/a>.
