Abstract

Previous studies have found mixed results on the relationship between posttraumatic growth, grief, and meaning-made. Our online study of bereaved CNU students measured basic constructs such as religiousness and specific constructs targeting loss like grief symptoms and meaning-made. Posttraumatic growth was positively correlated with grief but negatively correlated with meaning-made.
