“…Participants responded to nine items (Hamby & Taylor, 2018) such as “Most days I take time to relax by spending time outside” and “At the end of a long day, I have ways to relax.” Response items ranged from 1 = not true about me to 4 = mostly true about me . Final score was a sum of items.…”

Dating violence (DV) and sexual violence (SV) are pernicious issues among college students that lead to deleterious outcomes, which are more likely when victims receive more negative social reactions (e.g., blaming the victim) and fewer positive social reactions to disclosure (e.g., providing emotional support). Most research studies have examined victims’ reports of social reactions to their assault disclosures, with only a few cross-sectional studies of predictors of disclosure recipients’ provision of positive and negative social reactions to victims. The purpose of the current study was to address these gaps in the literature. Participants were 481 college students (76.4% women, 89.2% White/Non-Hispanic) who reported being a disclosure recipient during the past six months (measured at Time 2 to cross-sectionally and longitudinally predict their social reactions to victims’ disclosures). Results suggested that both victim and disclosure recipient characteristics (e.g., gender, race), disclosure recipient perceptions of victims (e.g., empathy for victim, blame of victim, victims’ coping) and both disclosure recipient and victim behavior at the time of disclosure (e.g., drinking, distress) were related to disclosure recipient social reactions. These findings underscore the need for programs for potential informal disclosure recipients that target psychological variables (e.g., post-traumatic stress disorder) and behavior at the time of disclosure, as well as their perceptions of victims more generally, in addition to improving their knowledge and ability to respond with positive social reactions and avoid negative social reactions.

“…The resilience portfolio model also calls for assessing a range of outcomes, including psychological well-being, spiritual wellbeing, and physical well-being . Some of these categories and/or the combination of strengths (poly-strengths) have shown inverse correlations with PTS and positive correlations with PTG (e.g., Hamby, Grych, & Banyard, 2018;Hamby et al, 2020b;Moisan et al, 2019). Several studies have explored the association of various strengths with PTG (Acquaye, 2017;Eren-Koçak & Kiliç, 2014;Frazier et al, 2004;Khursheed & Shahnawaz, 2020;Orejuela-Dávila et al, 2019;Song, 2012;Yeung & Lu, 2018).…”

“…A sample item is "Feeling lonely in the last month." This brief version has shown good reliability and validity for adults and youth in other samples (Hamby, Blount, et al, 2018;Hamby et al, 2020b) and allowed us to use a single measure for the entire sample. Scores on this measure represent a range of symptoms, including those below threshold for diagnosis.…”

Objective: Experiencing traumatic events may invoke posttraumatic symptoms (PTS) or growth (PTG). Using a dual-factor approach inspired by the dual-factor model of mental health, we explore the intersections of posttraumatic symptoms and growth with 21 strengths and indicators of psychological, physical, and spiritual well-being. Method: A survey completed by 1,966 participants who had experienced at least one prior victimization (average age 29.8 [SD = 1.64]; 63.6% female) assessed strengths, outcomes, and victimization. Participants were classified into four posttraumatic groups: Resilient (low symptoms, high growth, 23.9%), Prevailed (high symptoms, high growth, 26.1% of sample), Detached (low symptoms, low growth, 20.3%), and Distressed (high symptoms, low growth, 29.8%). Results: Analyses of covariance (ANCOVAs) controlling for age, gender, and victimization found that posttraumatic group classification was associated with each regulatory, meaning-making, and interpersonal strength, and every well-being measure. The Distressed group scored the lowest and the Resilient group scored the highest on almost all measures. Notably, the Prevailed group scored above the Detached group on most measures, except for health-related quality of life and optimism, suggesting that high growth may be more beneficial than low symptoms when coping with trauma. Conclusions: Findings suggest that coping after trauma is more complex than merely doing well or doing poorly in response to trauma. Promoting posttraumatic growth may help even highly symptomatic people achieve well-being after trauma. Clinical Impact StatementPromoting posttraumatic growth may be more important for supporting well-being after trauma than reducing posttraumatic symptoms.

“…Social support was measured using the social support items from the Resilience Portfolio Questionnaire (Hamby et al, 2018 ). The Social support seeking scale (5 items) aims to measure efforts to obtain help and attitudes towards asking for help while the Social support received scale (6 items) is designed to assess help or encouragement provided by others in times of distress (Hamby et al, 2020 ).…”

This study presents an exploratory mixed-method descriptive analysis of psychological distress, challenges encountered and coping strategies of youth during the first wave of COVID-19. A total of 4 914 Quebec youth, aged 14 to 25 recruited through social media completed an online survey on the impact of the pandemic on their daily life, psychological distress and post-traumatic growth. They were also invited to answer two open-ended questions regarding the difficulties they experienced and their coping strategies. Overall, 26.6% of youth showed serious psychological distress and 20.3% displayed probable PTSD symptoms related to the COVID-19. Comparative analyses revealed that youth identifying as gender and sexual minorities were more vulnerable to distress during the first wave of the pandemic. While few sociodemographic variables distinguish youth reporting post-traumatic growth from those who do not, the former group was more likely to seek and receive social support. Qualitative data highlighted difficulties that were common to many respondents including lack of social contacts, the lockdown itself, and problems related to disruptions of educational and academic activities. Youth also mentioned three main strategies they used to cope: maintaining social contacts, engaging in leisure activities and physical exercise. While many youths have encountered compelling challenges during the lockdown of the first wave of COVID-19, some report having relied on efficient coping strategies to deal with the situation. Support services should be implemented to help the youth cope with the pandemic while considering their diverse needs.
