A Model of Meaning-Making Coping and Growth in Combat Veterans (2011, background): “In a general sense, people will have a more positive outcome if they are able to somehow incorporate their traumatic experience into their existing global meaning system without discrepancy or make adequate changes to that system as a result of those experiences (Joseph & Linley, 2005).”
Psychology, Meaning Making, and the Study of Worldviews: Beyond Religion and Non-Religion (2018, background): “The success of meaning-making attempts following traumatic events is generally associated with psychological health, and even posttraumatic growth (Joseph & Linley, 2005).”

Post–traumatic Growth as Positive Personality Change: Evidence, Controversies and Future Directions (2014, background): “Although there are differences in the conceptualizations of theories of post-traumatic growth, one notion that is central to many is that experience of trauma is not sufficient in itself to facilitate growth (Joseph & Linley, 2005; Park, 2010; Tedeschi & Calhoun, 2004).”
Person-Centered Personality Theory: Support from Self-Determination Theory And Positive Psychology (2007, background): “…are able to account for the development of growth following adversity, as chaotic social environments may serve to break down existing conditions of worth, thus releasing the tendency toward actualization and the possibility of becoming more fully functioning (Joseph, 2004; Joseph & Linley, 2005).”
The Authentic Personality: A Theoretical and Empirical Conceptualization and the Development of the Authenticity Scale (2008, methodology): “The Authenticity Scale could be used to test not only whether this was the case but also test more complex models, such as whether authenticity only arises as a form of trauma-related growth when unconditionally accepting relationships are present (Joseph, 2004; Joseph & Linley, 2005 ).”
Theories of Posttraumatic Growth: Cross-Cultural Perspectives (2010, methodology): “…theories explaining the phenomenon of PTG are the functional descriptive model of posttraumatic growth (Tedeschi & Calhoun, 1995, 2004) and the organismic valuing process theory of growth (OVP; Joseph & Linley, 2005), both of which have been conceptualized and developed withinWestern culture.”
‘It was Hard, But it was Good’: a qualitative exploration of stress-related growth in Division I intercollegiate athletes (2012, methodology): “Finally, as in other models of growth and resilience, social support plays a critical role in facilitating the SRG process in the present model (e.g. Tedeschi and Calhoun 2004, Joseph and Linley 2005, Galli and Vealey 2008).”
Assessing meaning and meaning making in the context of stressful life events: Measurement tools and approaches (2013, methodology): “The meaning-making framework outlined here draws upon the work of many meaning-making theorists (e.g. Davis et al., 2000; Gillies & Neimeyer, 2006; Janoff-Bulman & Frantz, 1997; Joseph & Linley, 2005; Thompson & Janigian, 1988; Wortman & Silver, 1987).”
Sink or swim: Adversity- and growth-related experiences in Olympic swimming champions (2015, background): “…model (FDM) of 58 PTG (Calhoun, Cann, & Tedeschi, 2010; Calhoun & Tedeschi, 1998; Tedeschi & Calhoun, 1995, 59 2004), an organismic valuing theory (OVT) of growth through adversity (Joseph & Linley, 2005), 60 and an affective-cognitive processing model (ACPM) of PTG (Joseph, Murphy, & Regel 2012).”
Assimilation and Accommodation Processes Following Traumatic Experiences (2007, background): “Recently, Joseph and Linley ( 2005 ) developed the organismic valuing theory (OVP) of growth following adversity to bridge the gap between traditional theories of posttraumatic stress and posttraumatic growth.”
