TY - JOUR PY - 2017// TI - The mediating role of resiliency in the relationship between temperament and posttraumatic growth JO - Journal of loss and trauma A1 - OgiƄska-Bulik, Nina A1 - Kobylarczyk, Magdalena SP - 1 EP - 10 VL - 22 IS - 1 N2 - The purpose of the research is to investigate the mediating role of resiliency in the relation between temperamental traits and posttraumatic growth. Data of 74 persons who have experienced the death of someone close were analyzed. The range of age of the participants was 21-74 years (M = 38.4; SD = 15.5). The Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI), the Formal Characteristics of Behavior-Temperament Inventory (FCB-TI), and the Resiliency Assessment Scale were used in the study. Resiliency plays a mediating role among four traits of temperament (Briskness, Emotional Reactivity, Endurance, and Activity) and posttraumatic growth. Resiliency seems to modify the direct impact of temperamental traits on positive posttraumatic changes.
