“…Linear and quadratic effects of post-event distress on growth have been observed by other researchers (Levine, Laufer, Hamama-Raz, Stein, & Solomon, 2008;Solomon & Dekel, 2007). Several explanations have been proposed for the mixed results in cross-sectional studies.…”

“…According to recent data, these apparently antagonist constructs are, in fact, mixed and coexistent concepts (Calhoun & Tedeschi, 2006;Dekel, Ein-Dor, & Solomon, 2012). Supporting this, some studies suggested that higher levels of distress (Solomon & Dekel, 2007) and PTSD symptoms (Dekel et al, 2012; see also Helgeson et al, 2006) were associated with higher PTG scores.…”

Aim: In the face of one traumatic event, individuals may perceive, along with the inherent negative responses, a number of positive changes, which reveal posttraumatic growth. This concept has increased its expression in literature over the years, and it has been recognized that people exposed to highly traumatic events, such as bereavement, war combat, disasters, disease or other stressful or life-threatening events, may perceive positive changes from the struggling with those events. Thus, this literature review aims at exploring the definition of posttraumatic growth, associated factors and application contexts. Method and Results: Electronic databases were used to search the relevant literature. Based on the analysis of empirical data, were found several studies that demonstrated a range of factors, such as distress, personality characteristics, self-disclosure, coping, social support, environmental characteristics, assumptive world, rumination, spirituality and optimism, that have contributed to the development of posttraumatic growth; however, some relationships remain inconclusive. Conclusion: Further research is required, to clarify the genesis and the development of posttraumatic growth, also, to extend the posttraumatic growth studies in health context, encompassing the patient as well as family and social network.

“…While not negating this risk to well-being, many affected people also report having gained something valuable through their struggle with a traumatic event (e.g. Janoff-Bulman, 2009;Joseph & Butler, 2010;Solomon & Dekel, 2007;Tedeschi & Calhoun, 2004). The psychological benefits gained through the struggle with trauma are termed by Tedeschi and Calhoun (2004) posttraumatic growth.…”

It has been suggested that self-reported posttraumatic growth could sometimes be considered as a way for people to protect themselves from the distress of trauma. In this case, reports of posttraumatic growth could be illusory. We suggest a theory on self-reported constructive (real) posttraumatic growth and illusory posttraumatic growth by using Rogers’s theory and the work by Vaillant. Through this theoretical framework, we attempt to explain when reports of posttraumatic growth are likely to be constructive and real and when such reports are likely to represent aspects of illusions. We will also consider the implications for research practice.
