Measurement Issues in Assessing Growth Following Stressful Life Experiences. (2006, background): “A recently published study that compared a qualitative interview question that queried about benefits (benefit finding) and a quantitative scale (Posttraumatic Growth Inventory [PTGI]) found that there was no correlation between benefit finding and scores on the PTGI (Sears et al., 2003).”
Stress-Related Growth: Pre-Intervention Correlates and Change Following a Resilience Intervention (2010, result): “Hopeful coping's relation to growth is consistent with other studies that have related growth to positive reframing (Sears et al., 2003; Thornton & Perez, 2006) and religious coping (Park, 2006; Park & Fenster, 2004).”
Handbook of posttraumatic growth : research and practice (2006, background): “It was noted previously that in some studies, measures asking participants whether they had derived any benefits from their experience and quantitative scores of growth were unrelated (e.g., Sears et al., 2003).”
A changed perspective: How gratitude can affect sense of coherence through positive reframing (2009, result): “Consistent with this notion, Seligman's classic research on learned helplessness suggests that perceived inability to control stressors in one's life is conceptually very similar to depression (Seligman, 1972 ; Seligman & Groves, 1970 ; Seligman, Maier, & Geer, 1968 ).”
Post–traumatic Growth as Positive Personality Change: Evidence, Controversies and Future Directions (2014, methodology): “For example, as discussed earlier, research has demonstrated that self-reports of post-traumatic growth are fairly common—ranging from 58% to 83% among survivors of a range of different traumas (Affleck et al., 1987, 1991; McMillen et al., 1997; Sears et al., 2003).”
Health psychology: psychological adjustment to chronic disease. (2007, background): “Assessed earlier in the cancer trajectory, however, benefit finding appears to have no or even a negative relation with positive adjustment (Sears et al. 2003, Tomich & Helgeson 2004); perhaps engagement in finding benefit serves distinct functions over the course of chronic disease (Stanton et al.…”
Benefit Finding and Physical Health: Positive Psychological Changes and Enhanced Allostasis (2008, background): “These changes are particularly prominent among individuals diagnosed with cancer and other illnesses (Affleck et al., 1987; Sears et al., 2003) and may have beneficial effects on future health outcomes.”
