AI Article Synopsis
- - This study investigates how gratitude influences the connection between intrusive rumination (unwanted thoughts about trauma) and post-traumatic growth (PTG), with deliberate rumination (thoughtful reflection) acting as a middle step in the relationship.
- - Researchers surveyed 450 participants aged 18 to 68 in South Korea, ultimately analyzing data from 411, using SPSS software to explore the relationships between these psychological factors.
- - Results show that deliberate rumination helps link intrusive rumination to PTG, and gratitude enhances this process, suggesting that both gratitude and thoughtful reflection can promote growth after trauma.
Article Abstract
Purpose: This study examines the moderating effect of gratitude on the mediating effect of deliberate rumination on the relationship between intrusive rumination and post-traumatic growth (PTG).
Methods: We used self-report questionnaires to collect data from 450 18-68-year-old participants (M = 39.73, SD = 13.73) residing in major cities and regions across South Korea. Data that were collected from 411 participants were subjected to analysis. Version 25 of SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Science) and PROCESS macro were used to analyze mediation, moderation, and moderated mediation effects.
Results: Deliberate rumination mediated the relationship between intrusive rumination and PTG. Gratitude moderated the effect of deliberate rumination on PTG. Finally, gratitude moderated the mediating effect of deliberate rumination on the relationship between intrusive rumination and PTG.
Conclusion: Deliberate rumination and gratitude facilitate PTG for traumatized adults. In particular, gratitude reinforces the effect of deliberate rumination on PTG.
