Background: In this article, the evaluation of a structural model that seeks to identify predictors and mediators of posttraumatic growth (PTG) of people affected by a natural disaster is presented.
Method: The sample was composed of 349 adult men and women who experienced the earthquake and tsunami on February 27, 2010 in Chile. A modeling with structural equations was used, contrasting two predictive models of PTG. The latent variables assessed were subjective severity, social sharing of emotion, intrusive rumination, deliberate rumination, problem-focused coping and posttraumatic growth.
Results: The best fit was obtained with the model that shows a direct influence of the subjective severity, problem-focused coping, and deliberate rumination in the presence of PTG. Problem-focused coping mediated the relation between subjective severity and social sharing with PTG. In turn, deliberate rumination mediated the relation of problem-focused coping and intrusive rumination with PTG.
Conclusions: The results show the relevant role of cognitive processes such as deliberate rumination and behavioral processes such as problem-focused coping in the presence of PTG.

Article Synopsis
- The study explored how self-confidence, mental toughness, coping strategies, and appraisals of challenges or threats affect athletes' psychological and social experiences, using multi-states (MuSt) theory as a framework.
- Researchers assessed 76 elite male rugby players from the Italian national team during their training for the 2024 Men's Six Nations Championship.
- Results indicated that effective problem-focused coping and viewing situations as challenges helped mediate the positive effects of self-confidence and mental toughness on overall athlete wellbeing and performance, supporting the ideas behind MuSt theory.
