Description
An account of the resource
The article focuses on a study that introduced measures of self-reported positive life changes after negative events. The study of the psychosocial consequences of negative events has been conducted largely using a deficit approach. In the past three decades, bodies of literature have developed for all relatively common negative events, from rape to cancer. Using a deficit approach, individuals who experienced these events are described in terms of their depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and other negative symptoms. These negative descriptions may influence the way human services professionals view their clients and how people who experience these events view themselves. as negative outcomes. In the article, new measures of self-reported positive life changes after traumatic stressors are introduced. Factor analyses suggest that the Perceived Benefit Scales consist of eight subscales: lifestyle changes; material gain; and increases in self-efficacy, family closeness, community closeness, faith in people, compassion, and spirituality. Internal consistency and test-retest coefficients range from adequate to excellent. The scales correlate with indicators of severity and differ by type of negative event experienced.
