What Helps to Transform Harm Into Growth: Personality and Posttraumatic Growth

Thursday, March 7, 2019 · Paris, France

Personality/Emotion

In this symposium we explore predictors and correlates of posttraumatic growth in case of internal displacement and bullying. Based on three empirical studies we argue that PTG is a complex phenomenon related with personality, coping and adaptation skills as well as with subjective appraisal of events and tendency to ruminate.
