The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptom clusters in 72 armed robbery victims (AR) at their work place. 19 were assaulted twice or three times, while 15 suffered mild or minor physical injury. The subjects were 47 female and 25 male employees who were having 1 to 11 months of sick leave period at the time of examination. According to the psychiatric examination 38.9% fulfilled criteria for PTSD, while others had different combinations of symptoms. The statistical analysis showed that the whole group dominantly expressed persistent re-experience of the event, followed by the arousal symptoms. Those with full PTSD diagnosis did not differ from the others in age, level of education, number of assaults, length of sick leave period or the fact that they had or had not been physically injured. No difference was found between those who suffered only one attack and those who were assaulted twice or three times in a short period of time. The repetition of identical or very similar trauma situation did not contribute to the increased number of psychological problems measured by PTSD scales. Additionally, we compared the structure of PTSD in AR victims and in a group of 100 male ex-prisoners of war (ex-POW). The results indicate greater occurrence of full PTSD in AR group, as well as the re-experience and arousal symptoms combination in those with partial PTSD, while ex-POW group dominantly showed the arousal symptoms as isolated cluster, followed by combination of the re-experience and arousal symptoms.

The Lüscher Color Test was administered to a sample of 188 male ex-prisoners of war (aged 18-66 years), who underwent psychiatric and psychological examination. The aim of this study was to evaluate possible connections between PTSD symptom clusters and color preferences, and possible impact of post-war and post-imprisonment period on color choice. The obtained results showed a prevalence of 6.9% for full PTSD diagnosis and 38.8% for Partial PTSD diagnosis. Furthermore, we found increased preference for violet (dominantly in those with one symptom cluster) and green (dominantly in those with full PTSD or two symptom clusters) and decreased preference for red (all subgroups). The persistence of the post-trauma period influenced even more pronounced preference for green, and even lesser preference for red.
