Overview

Common risk factors in the development of acute stress disorder are temperamental, environment, and genetic and physiological.[1][2][3][4][5]

Risk Factors

Risk factors for acute stress disorder include the following:[1][2][3][4][5]

Risk factors Description
Temperamental
  • Prior mental disorder
  • High levels of negative affectivity (neuroticism)
  • Greater perceived severity of the traumatic event
  • An avoidant coping style
  • Catastrophic appraisals of the traumatic experience, often characterized by exaggerated assessment of future harm, guilt, or hopelessness, are strongly predictive of acute stress disorder
Environment
  • History of prior trauma
  • Absent social support
Genetic and physiological
  • Females are at greater risk for developing acute stress disorder
  • Elevated reactivity, as reflected by acoustic startle response, prior to trauma exposure increases the risk for developing acute stress disorder
