“…Nevertheless, several recent confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) studies have indicated that the seven-factor hybrid model, which incorporates the key features of previous six-factor models, such as the anhedonia (Liu et al, 2014) and externalizing behavior (Tsai et al, 2015) models, has been the model that seems to best represent the DSM-5 PTSD symptoms. For instance, the sevenfactor hybrid model has demonstrated significantly better fit than the alternative PTSD models in samples of traumatized adults exposed to natural disasters (Mordeno, Carpio, Nalipay, & Saavedra, 2017), war (Erwin et al, 2017), and one or multiple traumatic events (Contractor, Caldas, Dolan, Lagdon, & Armour, 2018), as well as in community and traumatized youth samples exposed to high-intensity earthquakes (Cao, Wang, Cao, Zhang, & Elhai, 2017) or one or multiple traumatic events (Murphy et al, 2017).…”
