Article Synopsis
- A Japanese version of the short-form Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI-X-SF-J) was created to assess personal growth perspectives, including existential and spiritual growth, among individuals.
- The study involved two samples of Japanese university students, using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses to ensure the short form's reliability and validity, resulting in a 10-item, 5-factor inventory.
- The PTGI-X-SF-J demonstrated good reliability (Cronbach's alpha between 0.671 to 0.875) and showed no significant correlation with posttraumatic stress disorder, making it a useful tool for evaluating personal growth in trauma survivors while minimizing their emotional burden.
Article Synopsis
- * Researchers found that whether the stressful event was labeled as trauma or not did not significantly change the model for PTG, suggesting that PTG can occur regardless of this perception.
- * The results highlighted the need to consider the processes of rumination and emotional disclosure in relation to PTG, emphasizing their importance for personal growth after stressful experiences.
