The Integration of Stressful Life Experiences Scale (ISLES): Development and Initial Validation of a New Measure (2010, neutral): “…measures of distress/adaptation, which may indicate that the perception of growth or benefits reflects both adaptive (e.g., processing and positively reappraising a stressor) and less adaptive (e.g., self-deception/avoidance) ways of coping with a stressful life event (Zoellner & Maercker, 2006).”
Sink or swim: Adversity- and growth-related experiences in Olympic swimming champions (2015, background): “107 Although the notion of adversarial growth has received growing support in the sport and 108 broader psychology literature, some scholars have questioned the veridicality of growth 109 experiences (e.g., Maercker & Zoellner; 2004; Park, 2004; Zoellner & Maercker, 2006a; 110 Wortman, 2004).”
Posttraumatic Growth in the Aftermath of Trauma: A Literature Review About Related Factors and Application Contexts (2013, background): “Thus, during the process of coping, a reduction of stress symptoms as well as a decrease of the illusory PTG, and an increase in the awareness of the constructive PTG, are expected (Zoellner & Maercker, 2006).”
Post–traumatic Growth as Positive Personality Change: Evidence, Controversies and Future Directions (2014, background): “Like other theories, this account acknowledges that self-reported post-traumatic growth may reflect some immediate coping benefits, but it is distinctive in that it posits that only action-related growth ultimate leads to actual positive changes (see also Zoellner & Maercker, 2006).”
Posttraumatic Growth and Posttraumatic Distress: A Longitudinal Study (2012, background): “Thus, clear evidence that growth promotes postevent adjustment is still lacking (Zoellner & Maercker, 2006).”
Optimism, Social Support, and Coping Strategies As Factors Contributing to Posttraumatic Growth: A Meta-Analysis (2009, background): “Many instruments have been validated for the assessment of several domains of growth, such as increased spirituality, self-understanding, belongingness, personal strength, appreciation of one's life, and quality of relationships (Calhoun & Tedeschi, 2006 ; Joseph & Linley, 2006; Zoellner & Maercker”
Posttraumatic Growth Among Traumatized Somali Refugees in Hungary (2011, background): “The phenomenon of growth implicates the opportunity of development, additional benefits, qualitative change and transformation (Zoellner & Maercker, 2006 ), and therefore differs from the concept of resilience, which involves the ability to maintain relatively stable, healthy levels of psychologica”
The resilience portfolio model: Understanding healthy adaptation in victims of violence. (2015, neutral): “For example, PTG has been conceptualized both as a process for coping with trauma and as an outcome of the coping process (Tedeschi & Calhoun, 2004; Zoellner & Maercker, 2006), and there is inconsistency in the extent to which growth is viewed as a cognitive, emotional, or behavioral phenomenon…”
Challenges and burden of the Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic for child and adolescent mental health: a narrative review to highlight clinical and research needs in the acute phase and the long return to normality (2020, background): “Thus, successful management of stress and trauma can lead to personal growth, which in turn reinforces the sense of competence and becomes a protective factor for coping with future stressors [40].”
Perceiving benefits after adversity: The relationship between self-reported posttraumatic growth and creativity. (2013, background): “Other researchers have argued that subjective growth (such as the growth documented in the present study) may be the precursor to more genuine psychological or behavioral growth (Calhoun & Tedeschi, 2006; for a review see Zoellner & Maercker, 2006).”
