Note. N = 81. Total number of traumas = CAPS–Life Events Checklist; BFI-Neuroticism = Big Five Inventory – Neuroticism subscale; Participant sex (1 = men, 2 = women); Distress Tolerance Scale = Distress Tolerance Scale–Total score; Discomfort Intolerance Scale = Discomfort Intolerance Scale – Total score; Mirror-Tracing Task duration = Mirror-Tracing Task duration–in seconds; Breath-Holding Task duration = Breath-Holding Task duration–in seconds; PTSD symptom severity = CAPS–Total PTSD symptom severity (frequency + intensity).
