“…The 8-item present control subscale of the Perceived Control Over Stressful Events scale (Frazier et al, 2010) was used to assess perceptions of present control over the recent traumatic event (e.g., How I deal with this event now is under my control). Items were rated on a 1 ( strongly disagree ) to 4 ( strongly agree ) scale.…”

“…Items were rated on a 1 ( strongly disagree ) to 4 ( strongly agree ) scale. This subscale has good internal consistency and test–retest reliability, as well as convergent, discriminant, predictive, and incremental validity (Frazier et al, 2010). The alpha coefficient in this sample was .77.…”

“…control. Perceived present control is consistently related to better posttrauma outcomes, including fewer PTSD symptoms (e.g., Frazier, 2003; Frazier et al, 2010) and is related to the hypothesized risk and protective factors reviewed above, including lower neuroticism, less distress, greater optimism, and more positive self-views (Frazier et al, 2010). To date, no prospective studies have examined whether perceived control mediates the relation between pretrauma functioning and subsequent PTSD symptoms.…”

This study assessed the relations between pretrauma risk (neuroticism, negative affect, prior distress) and protective (self-esteem, optimism) factors and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and potential mediators (subjective event-related distress, unsupportive social interactions, perceived control) of those relations. Students (N ϭ 1,528) at four U.S. universities completed online surveys assessing pretrauma risk and protective factors at Time 1 (T1); 84% (N ϭ 1,281) completed a survey 2 months later (T2). PTSD symptoms and the three potential mediators were assessed among those who experienced potentially traumatic events between T1 and T2 (n ϭ 264). PTSD symptoms related to prior traumas were controlled in all analyses. In structural equation modeling (SEM) analyses, the relation between risk factors and PTSD symptoms was mediated by unsupportive social interactions. Protective factors did not independently predict PTSD symptoms when risk factors also were included in the SEM models. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

“…As with global meaning, situational meaning may also be associated well-being (Park and Gutierrez, 2012). For example, appraising events as controllable and benign is related to less distress following negative events (Aldwin et al, 2007;Frazier et al, 2011). Although much research has concentrated on the appraisal of negative events and its impact on stress (e.g., Lazarus and Folkman, 1984), few studies have explicitly examined whether such processes enhance or reduce both situational and global meaning.…”

Effects of positive reappraisal and self-distancing on the meaningfulness of everyday negative events

Current work on meaning-making has primarily focused on major negative life events such as trauma and loss, leaving common daily adversities unexplored. This study aimed to examine how utilizing meaning-making strategies such as positive reappraisal and self-distancing (in isolation or in combination) can facilitate an adaptive processing of these daily negative experiences. Overall meaning and facets of meaning (coherence, purpose, and significance/mattering) were assessed at both global and situational levels. Results suggested that positive reappraisal was generally effective for enhancing situational meaning but not under all conditions. Specifically, when negative experiences were high on emotional intensity, reflecting on the experience from a distanced (third-person) perspective enhanced coherence and existential mattering more than engaging in positive reappraisal. However, when negative experiences were low on intensity, distanced reflection led to less coherence and mattering than positive reappraisal. The findings of this study elucidated the importance of examining the multidimensional construct of meaning at the facet level and highlighted the importance of applying different coping strategies to effectively make meaning out of daily negative experiences.

Este artículo de revisión de literatura presenta algunas tendencias y avances conceptuales, hallazgos empíricos y pruebas que miden las variables predictoras del bienestar subjetivo a partir de la búsqueda en base de datos bibliográficas ProQuest, PsycARTICLES, PsycTEST, OVID SP, libros y trabajos de grado. Se reconocieron dos tipos de variables predictoras, unas internas al individuo y otras externas a él, que igualmente influyen en la obtención de bienestar subjetivo. En las conclusiones se analizan los estudios y conceptualización sobre bienestar subjetivo y algunas de las variables predictoras
