• Beyond Resilience and PTSD: Mapping the Heterogeneity of Responses to Potential Trauma (2012, background): “…this belief, solid empirical evidence for delayed grief has yet to be produced (Bonanno & Kaltman, 1999; Wortman & Silver, 1989), even in longitudinal studies explicitly designed to capture the phenomenon (Bonanno & Field, 2001; Bonanno et al., 2002; Middleton, Burnett, Raphael, & Martinek, 1996).”
• Resilience to loss and potential trauma. (2011, methodology): “The distress-improvement pattern has been identified in research on loss following chronic illness (Bonanno et al. 2002b), divorce (Mancini et al. 2010a), and military deployment (Dickstein et al. 2010).”
• Beyond the hedonic treadmill: revising the adaptation theory of well-being. (2006, background): “Furthermore, in a number of studies, researchers have traced reactions to the death of a spouse, and these studies show that emotional reactions eventually rebound after this major life event (e.g., Bonanno et al., 2002; Bonanno, Wortman, & Nesse, 2004; Lucas, Clark, Georgellis, & Diener, 2003).”
• Bereavement, religion, and posttraumatic growth: A matched control group investigation. (2013, background): “Although people tend to respond to bereavement in a resilient manner or regain preloss levels of functioning after a protracted period of distress (Bonanno et al., 2002), research has also documented that the nature of an individual’s grief response can increase the risk for serious decrements in me”
• COMPLICATED GRIEF AND RELATED BEREAVEMENT ISSUES FOR DSM-5 (2011, background): “Research has proved Freud largely correct,[2–4] but not entirely.”
• Personal resilience as a strategy for surviving and thriving in the face of workplace adversity: a literature review. (2007, background): “In addition to hardiness, Bonanno et al. (2002) discusses self-enhancement, repressive coping, positive emotions and laughter as being resilience-promoting.”
• Bereavement theory: recent developments in our understanding of grief and bereavement (2014, background): “Most people ultimately adapt well to bereavement, typically regaining their psychological equilibrium after some weeks or months of acute mourning, although they frequently will continue to miss their loved one for a considerably longer period of time (Bonanno et al, 2002).”
• Making sense of the meaning literature: an integrative review of meaning making and its effects on adjustment to stressful life events. (2010, background): “…notions deserve research attention, for, as global meaning systems that buffer stress and allow assimilation of events rather than necessitate the (presumably) more difficult processes of accommodation that renovation of global meaning entails (Bonanno et al., 2002), they hold clues to resilience.”
• Does Early Psychological Intervention Promote Recovery From Posttraumatic Stress? (2003, methodology): “2, NOVEMBER 2003 59 In an early pre-CISD study cited as relevant to CISM by Everly and Mitchell (1999), Bordow and Porritt (1979) randomly assigned 70 male patients who had been hospitalized following road traffic accidents to a one-on-one crisis intervention condition or to no intervention. The int”
• Patterns of psychological adaptation to divorce after a long-term marriage (2015, background): “…logistic regression (Asparouhov & Muthen, 2013), it is of particular interest for comparing profiles of adaptations to critical events in which maladaptation or complete resilience may be relatively rare and researchers need to compare small and large groups of people (e.g., Bonanno et al., 2002).”
• Resilience: Promoting Well-Being Through Recovery, Sustainability, and Growth (2010, background): “9% of bereaved individuals exhibited stable, low levels of depression characteristic of resilient processes (Bonanno et al., 2002).”
