Abstract
Few studies have investigated posttraumatic growth (PTG) among burn survivors. The relationships of core beliefs, deliberate rumination, and some sociocultural elements of PTG were explored. Participants were 116 survivors of the 2015 New Taipei Water Park Explosion in Taiwan. Results indicated that deliberate rumination significantly predicts PTG.
