Note. N = 289. Predictors other than gender were mean-centered. Gender was coded 0 = male, 1 = female. Trauma Exposure = number of traumatic events endorsed. Explicit cognitions = the negative self subscale of the Posttraumatic Cognitions Inventory (Foa et al., 1999). Higher IAT scores = stronger associations with me and traumatized.
