Depressive symptoms: Worry about others × Trait resilience.

<p>This figure revealed the moderation of trait resilience in the association between subjective experience (i.e., worry about others) and depressive symptoms. For participants with low level of trait resilience, worry about others was significantly and positively associated with individual depressive symptoms. In contrast, participants with high level of trait resilience evidenced little variation in depressive symptoms as a function of worry about others.</p

The hypothesized model of posttraumatic growth.

<p>This figure describes the hypothesized paths of extraversion, social support, posttraumatic stress disorder, and posttraumatic growth. PTSD = posttraumatic stress disorder; PTG = posttraumatic growth; arrows imply the directionality in the model, “+” indicates a positive prediction, “—” indicates a negative prediction.</p

<p>This figure reveals the standardized path coefficients in the final model from Mplus after controlling for sex, grade and age. All path values, <i>ps</i> <. 001. Fit indices of the model: χ² (77, N = 631) = 212.822, <i>p</i> <. 001; root mean square error of approximation [90% confidence interval] = .053 [.044, .061]; comparative fit index = .974; standardized root mean square residual = .041. SS = social support; SS1 = emotional support; SS2 = instrumental support; SS3 = companionship; SS4 = intimacy; SS5 = enhancement of worth. PTSD = posttraumatic stress disorder; PTSD1 = intrusion; PTSD2 = avoidance; PTSD3 = hyperarousal. PTG = posttraumatic growth; PTG1 = perceived changes in the self; PTG2 = sense of relationships with others; PTG3 = changed philosophy of life.</p
