Young Adults’ Lifetime Traumas and Wellbeing
The current study assessed relations between young adults’ lifetime trauma exposure, strength of attachment to companion animals, mindfulness (objective experiential awareness), and two indicators of wellbeing (i.e., physical and mental health). Participants were 423 undergraduates (77.5% female; 91.7% White; M age = 22.23, SD = 6.87) who completed online surveys to assess previous exposure to traumatic events, attachment to companion animals, mi…

Does Self-Reported Posttraumatic Growth Reflect Genuine Positive Change?
In this study, we evaluated the validity of self-reported posttraumatic growth (PTG) by assessing the relation between perceived growth and actual growth from pre- to posttrauma. Undergraduate students completed measures tapping typical PTG domains at Time 1 and Time 2 (2 months later). We compared change in those measures with scores on the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI; Tedeschi & Calhoun, 1996 ) for those participants who reported a tra…
A meta-analytic review of benefit finding and growth.
The authors conducted a meta-analysis to examine the relations of benefit finding to psychological and physical health as well as to a specific set of demographic, stressor, personality, and coping correlates. Results from 87 cross-sectional studies reported in 77 articles showed that benefit finding was related to less depression and more positive well-being but also more intrusive and avoidant thoughts about the stressor. Benefit finding was un…
Normative Trends in Children's Perceptions of Availability and Utilization of Attachment Figures in Middle Childhood
Two studies addressed the normative aspects of attachments to mothers and fathers in middle childhood. Using both cross‐sectional and longitudinal comparisons, we tested the hypothesis that children show no changes in perceptions of availability of attachment figures across the later middle childhood years, but do utilize attachment figures less at older ages. The first study included a cross‐sectional comparison of third and sixth graders, and t…
Is Finding Something Good in the Bad Always Good? Benefit Finding Among Women With Breast Cancer.
The correlates and consequences of benefit finding on quality of life were examined for 364 women (93% Caucasian, 6% African American, and 1% Hispanic) diagnosed with Stage I, II, and III breast cancer. Benefit finding and quality of life were measured 4 months postdiagnosis (Tl), 3 months after Tl (T2), and 6 months after T2 (T3). Women with lower socioeconomic status, minorities, and those with more severe disease perceived more benefits at bas…
Attachment-based assessments of parent-child relationships in middle childhood
Attachment-based assessments of parent–child relationships in middle childhood
Although a number of measures have been developed to assess parent-child attachments, validity data on middle-childhood measures are lacking. The present study tested attachment-based measures of parent-child relationships designed for the later middle-childhood years (9-12 years of age). Self-reports from children assessed perceptions of security and avoidant and preoccupied coping. Some children also completed a projective interview assessing a…
