This study explored the relationship of Trait Anxiety, Trait Depression, and Trait Anger as moderators in the relationship between disaster exposure and reported traumatic stress symptoms in American Red Cross disaster responders. 3,055 participants who repsonded to the September 11th terrorist attacks within the first three months of the response were surveyed one year post response. Reported traumatic stress was measured by the Impact of Events Scale-Revised (IES-R) with Trait Anxiety, Trait Depression, and Trait Anger measured by the State Trait Personality Inventory (STPI). Exposure was measured by calculating factors based on disaster specific questions posed in the demographic questionaire. The results of this study supported previous research identifmg the positive correlation between exposure and traumatic stress, a negative correlation between age and traumatic stress, and female responders reporting more distress than male resonders. Using structural equation modeling, a model of best fit was chosen to represent the interaction effect of the trait moderators, Trait Anxiety, Trait Depression, and Trait Anger. Based on regression weights from this fifth model, Trait Depression and exposure to "threats to personal safety" was the only significant moderator interaction. Participants who were dispositionally high in Trait Depression with increased fears for personal safety, and who were exposed to traumatic events were more likely to report increased traumatic stress symptomatology following their exposure. In this way, higher levels of Trait Depression moderated the effect of exposure for a specific group of Red Cross disaster responders. Implications of these results are discussed.
