Association of postmigration stressors and intolerance of uncertainty to posttraumatic stress disorder in asylum seekers: the moderating role of environmental sensitivity
Postmigration stressors and uncertainty contribute uniquely to PTSD symptomatology among asylum seekers, with environmental sensitivity shaping how these risk factors manifest. Environmental sensitivity-informed interventions (e.g., emotion regulation support for highly sensitive individuals) and policies aimed at reducing uncertainty and structural barriers could help buffer psychological distress in this vulnerable population.
