Abstract
Collective traumatic events (CTEs; e.g., natural disasters) predict negative symptoms, yet posttraumatic growth (PTG) has gone unexplored. This experiment investigates the effects of a PTG intervention, moderated by political orientation, in a CTE context (i.e., COVID-19). The influence of political orientation on perceptions of CTEs and PTG is discussed.
