Following stressful events, there is evidence that the degree to which the event is perceived as central to one's identity and forms a reference point for the attribution of meaning to other events (i.e., "centrality of events") is associated with depression symptoms.
Centrality of events, as an organizational feature that facilitates recollection, could be mediating the semantization process.
That result is in line with what Berntsen and Rubin (2007) and Boals (2010) found regarding the noteworthy association between centrality of events and posttraumatic symptoms severity.

The initial item pool of 59 items included a range of memory characteristics important for emotional (including traumatic) memories, such as items about a physical/bodily emotional reaction during recall [ 28], narrative coherence and fragmentation [ 12], and the centrality of the event in a person's identity/life story [ 26].
Given the centrality of economic events on the global stage, Neoliberalism, Economic Radicalism, and the Normalization of Violence stands out as both a springboard for discussion and a call to action, to be read by political and cultural economists, political scientists, and sociologists.
The centrality of traumatic events to PTSD has been further emphasised in DSM-5, in which PTSD has been moved from anxiety disorders to trauma and stress-related illnesses.
Classical statistics is often called frequentist, owing to the centrality of frequencies of events in classical procedures and the prominence of the frequentist interpretation of probability developed by von Mises.
