We explored whether individuals with PTSD possess a highly affectively-compartmentalized self-structure, whereby positive and negative self-attributes are sectioned off into separate components of self-concept (e.g. self as an employee, lover, mother). We also examined redundancy (i.e. overlap) of positive and negative self-attributes across the different components of self-concept.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291719000837_sec_a2\" sec-type=\"methods\"><jats:title>Method<\/jats:title><jats:p>Participants generated a set of self-aspects that reflected their own life (e.g. \u2018self at work\u2019).

However, there were no significant differences between the PTSD and control groups in positive or negative redundancy. Sensitivity analyses demonstrated that the key findings were not accounted for by comorbid diagnosis of depression.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291719000837_sec_a4\"
