Theories Related to Posttraumatic Growth
Abstract
Various theories related to stress, coping, and trauma have application to PTG in various ways. In this chapter we review such theories, including conservation of resources theory, terror management theory, mortality salience and reminders, empowerment, and mindfulness. We also look at models that overlap with PTG but that are distinct from it in a number of ways. These models include stress-related growth, benefit finding, thriving, and flourishing. We also discuss research and perspectives about the relationship between PTG and PTSD, and the difference between PTG and resilience. The chapter concludes with research that has examined behavioral and personality changes shown to relate to and/or provide evidence of PTG.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
