Predictors of posttraumatic stress disorder and postraumatic growth
08 June 2017
We are interested in how people deal with traumatic events. Some people suffer severely as a result of traumatic events and may develop conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder. However, some people also appear to become ‘stronger’ as a result of their experiences. This study aims to find out what factors lead to people becoming stronger following a traumatic event. It is hoped that by understanding these factors, interventions can be developed to help people respond in this way.
