dc.description.abstract	Research indicates that behavioral inhibition in the face of novelty may denote a proneness to anxiety disorders. The present study tested the hypothesis that extremely inhibited individuals are predisposed to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) by using a measure of inhibition as an indicator of vulnerability to PTSD. The Retrospective Self-Report of Inhibition and the Adult Self-Report of Inhibition were administered to a group of war combat veterans (n=29) diagnosed with PTSD and to a control group of non-PTSD war combat veterans (n=26). The two groups did not differ in childhood inhibition, but they did differ in adult inhibition.	en_US
