Abstract: Childhood trauma impacts emotional and cognitive development, shaping how individuals adapt and grow. Using hierarchical regression, our study examined emotional intelligence (EI), resilience, cognitive intelligence, and personality disorder characteristics as predictors of post-traumatic growth. Resilience, EI, and dependent and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder characteristics were significant predictors, supporting greater post-traumatic growth.
