Abstract
Meaning-making efforts, such as perceiving posttraumatic growth (PPTG), may relate to wellbeing especially when creating meaning in life (MIL). We tested mediation models in a dataset of 410 Post-9/11 military veterans at 3 timepoints over 12 months. Findings suggest that PPTG’s association with wellbeing is fully mediated by MIL.
