PTG aligns closely with positive psychology’s approach that the interplay of positive and negative life experiences helps us flourish (Joseph, 2013).

The new direction of studies on PTG has started to match the researches on Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and its clinical and developmental correlates, proposing and supporting the hypothesis that the struggle to cope with a traumatic event could lead to negative outcomes as well as to positive personal changes (Linley & Joseph, 2004).

In psychology, post-traumatic growth (PTG) is positive psychological change experienced as a result of struggling with highly challenging, highly stressful life circumstances.

Subsequent chapters examine PTG in a variety of different geographic and cultural contexts, and in this chapter our focus is somewhat theoretical and specific to the model of PTG that we have been developing over the years (Calhoun & Tedeschi, 1998, 2004, 2006; Tedeschi & Calhoun, 1995, 2004) and that we build upon in this chapter.

In line with this empirical evidence, Tedeschi and colleagues have proposed a revised model in which PTG is accepted both as a process and an outcome. The roles of the concepts such as wisdom, resilience, socio-cultural factors are explained better.

2021年2月1日 · A theoretical model depicting the PTG process has been refined across diverse samples and cultural contexts (Tedeschi et al., 2018, for review). According to the model, three components primarily explain PTG and possibly PTD.
