Hartmann et al. (2026) reported that avoidant coping partially accounts for higher posttraumatic stress symptoms after interpersonal than after non-interpersonal trauma. The table and figure notes state that all variables were z-transformed, but the deposited analysis script shows that trauma type entered the models unscaled. The coefficients are therefore semi-standardised. On the original scale, the indirect effect equals about 2.8 points on the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5; 95% CI 0.4 to 5.2), roughly 29% of the 9.6-point group difference. We ask that the coefficients be relabelled and the indirect effect reported in raw units. Using the authors' open data, we also tested whether content overlap between the avoidant coping composite and PCL-5 avoidance and detachment items inflated the effect. Removing these items left the indirect effect unchanged, so overlap does not account for it. Adding current psychiatric disorder status as a covariate, however, widened its confidence interval to include zero.
