This paper elaborates on how these research resilience adversity across the life span aligns guiding elements definitions literatures. I also discuss current applying in midlife, which emphasizes defining features midlife lend themselves examining resilience, continues not be well understood, health foreshadows old age, experience will evolve context an increasingly diverse society. The last section additional directions for research, such as promise intensive longitudinal designs incorporate qualitative approaches historical changes well-being. In conclusion, life-span framework has elucidating nature through integration its existing paradigms blend contemporary methods mixed methodology.

Research examining the associations between major life events and personality trait development is mixed. Work that evaluates perceptions of how those are themselves associated with traits may help clarify existing literature. We used a large student sample ( N = 1,509) demographically diverse from Qualtrics panel 552) to conduct exploratory analyses big five events. Results suggested (a) beliefs about event-related change differ students more representative samples, (b) event often nuanced, (c) not merely proxies for traits.

Опубликована: Сен. 14, 2021

Research on post-traumatic growth (PTG) has been compromised by methodological limitations. Recent process-oriented accounts of personality suggest, however, that positive changes may occur through short-term (i.e., state-level) in PTG. In the current year-long study, 1,247 participants provided weekly reports significant negative events as well state manifestations PTG (up to 44 assessments per individual; 34,205 total). Trait eudaimonic well-being (EWB) were administered at intake and Weeks 45 52. Experiencing life predicted increases PTG, which turn EWB. However, stability was observed when modeling prospective overall before after initial event or across all occurring during study time frame. These findings highlight importance studying PTG-related processes using appropriate research designs, analytic strategies, frames.

We also investigated whether this association varies as a function of socio-demographic, clinical characteristics, study publication year. Method conducted structured literature search Web Science, Scopus, MedLine, PsyARTICLES, ProQuest, Google Scholar. The most important inclusion criteria encompassed quantitative peer-reviewed articles published in English. Results After selection, we accepted 27 for further analysis ( N = 6333 participants). Eight used indicators well-being. other 19 focused Meta-analysis revealed that there was weak-size PTG r − 0.18, 95% CI [− 0.23; 0.11]) medium-size measures 0.35, [0.21; 0.47]). detected no moderators. Conclusions present expected associations versus PLWH. Specifically, more substantial than link these patients.

To gain better understanding perception, we therefore convergence self- and informant-reports major potential moderators convergence. In dyadic study design, N = 562 participants provided perception. Results from multilevel regression analyses showed informant-perception profiles converge ( B 0.599, p < .001), even after controlling normativeness (distinctive convergence: 0.442, .001). Moreover, talking about event—but not informant’s presence at event—was linked higher overall distinctive Additionally, perceived closeness between was associated indicate could provide new insights into nature
