“…The CiOQ-P consists of 11 positive change items, each of which is answered on a 6-point Likert Scale. The range of the positive change scale lies between 11 and 66 (Linley, Joseph, Cooper, Harris & Meyer, 2003). …”

Two studies (n = 73, n = 132) explored the association between sense of humour and trauma related well-being outcomes. It was found that sense of humour was not associated with reports of posttraumatic growth as measured by the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI).Self-enhancing humour was positively associated with positive changes as measured by the CiOQ-P. Benign humour styles were associated negatively with emotion regulation difficulties and negative changes (CiOQ-N). Self-defeating humour was associated positively with negative changes, avoidant states and emotion regulation difficulties. The results suggest that self-enhancing humour could be helpful in order to cope with trauma.

“…The term vicarious traumatic exposure has been used in the literature to refer to indirect traumatic exposure, for example exposure to direct trauma survivors and/or the aversive details of a traumatic event, rather than exposure to a traumatic event itself (e.g., Brockhouse, Msetfi, Cohen & Joseph, 2011). A growing body of literature documents VPTG among health professionals (e.g., Shiri, Wexler, Alkalay, Meiner, & Kreitler, 2008a), interpreters (e.g., Splevins, Cohen, Joseph, Murray & Bowley, 2010) and members of the public (e.g., Linley, Joseph, Cooper, Harris, & Meyer, 2003); however, to date a comprehensive evaluation and review of the literature has not been conducted.…”

Twenty-eight articles are included in this review, which provides the first comprehensive review of the vicarious posttraumatic growth (VPTG) literature. Five domains are presented. First, assessment methods of VPTG are reviewed; seventeen studies assessed VPTG using a measure designed for use with direct trauma survivors, three used a non-validated measure, and the remaining eight used an open-ended question. Second, the level of similarity between reports of direct and vicarious posttraumatic growth is examined. VPTG was found to be highly similar to direct posttraumatic growth; however, subtle differences between the two were also identified along with manifestations of growth unique to VPTG. Third, a range of psychological, cognitive, behavioural, interpersonal, and external factors that have been implicated to facilitate VPTG are presented. Fourth, research exploring the relationship between VPTG and secondary traumatic stress is examined. Three possible explanations are presented: a positive linear association, no association, and a more complex curvilinear relationship. Finally, limitations to the current body of knowledge and areas for future research are explored.

Abstract. In a quasi-representative survey, 1242 respondents were asked to describe a situation or event that had elicited an emotion on the previous day. They were also asked to report on the respective appraisal and reaction patterns as well as to verbally label the experience. In addition, they completed a rating list on the relative frequency of experiencing each of 14 emotions and a medical symptom list. The data are Editor's noteThe present issue of SSI publishes the results of a large-scale survey on the frequency of different emotions in everyday life, conducted by Klaus R. Scherer, Tanja Wranik, Janique Sangsue, Véronique Tran and Ursula Scherer from the Emotion Research Group in Geneva, Switzerland. It is hoped that the presentation of the data in this article, unusual from the standpoint of mainstream psychological research, may stimulate debate on currently neglected issues in emotion research. In order to encourage an interdisciplinary, phenomenon-oriented approach, rather than sticking to a narrow paradigm, and to confront a variety of approaches, we have invited leading scholars from various disciplines to comment on this article. interpreted in terms of the odds of experiencing a particular type of emotion in everyday life, mediated by ''risk factors'' such as culture, socio-demographic background, personality, health, and situational context. Further results concern typical appraisals and reactions for different emotions and relationships between everyday emotions and subjective well-being (life satisfaction and subjective health).Key words.

Dans une étude quasi-représentative, nous avons interrogé 1242 sujets sur le rappel en mémoire d'un événement ayant généré une émotion au cours de la journée précédente, en leur demandant de décrire verbalement l'expérience émotionnelle en question et les patterns de réaction correspondants. Ils ont également complété un questionnaire quant à la relative fréquence avec laquelle ils ressentent 14 différentes émotions, ainsi qu'une série de symptômes physiques. Les données ont été interprétées en termes de probabilités d'éprouver tel ou tel type d'émotions dans la vie courante, modulées par des facteurs de risque tels que le contexte socio-culturel, le profil socio-démographique, la personnalité, la santé, et l'endroit dans lequel les émotions ont été éprouvées. D'autres résultats portent sur l'attribution causale et les patterns de réactions typiques à différentes émotions, ainsi que sur les relations entre expériences émotionnelles et bien-être subjectif (satisfaction de vie et santé subjective).
