Abstract: Growth is commonly reported following all variety of stressful encounters. This phenomenon is receiving proliferating research attention, and much has been learned. In this article, we provide an overview of the current theoretical and empirical knowledge regarding growth. Most of this research concerns self-reported growth, but a small amount of research reviewed here concerns actual growth.

“…The lowest PTGI scores observed in our study echo the observation of Cho and Park , which means PTGI scores are likely lower in non‐US cultures because Americans tend to perceive all experiences in a positive light. However, our patients' slim perception of positive growth may derive more from characteristics of the stressor—the dying process and one's forthcoming death.…”

“…In her contribution, Crystal Park, an international leader in the area, gives an update on the existing theories around posttraumatic growth, revealing the conceptual and methodological difficulties of its study (Cho & Park, 2013).
