Does personal growth initiative (PGI)-the tendency to be proactive about one's personal development-impact adaptive beliefs about life quality among survivors of mass violence, such as ethnopolitical warfare or genocidal violence? One-hundred-and-twenty-three survivors of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda and 179 Tamil individuals affected by the civil war in Sri Lanka completed assessments of PGI, satisfaction with one's past life, current life satisfaction, and anticipated future life satisfaction. High levels of PGI were associated with an adaptive inclining trajectory of life satisfaction (Past < Present < Future) in both samples. These results indicate that PGI is associated with adaptive beliefs about one's identity and well-being among war-affected populations, and supports future interventions targeting PGI among those communities.
个人成长主动性（PGI）——即积极主动地追求个人发展的倾向——是否会影响大屠杀幸存者（如种族灭绝或种族战争）对生活质量的适应性信念？123 名 1994 年卢旺达图西族种族灭绝的幸存者和 179 名受斯里兰卡内战影响的泰米尔人完成了对个人成长主动性、对过去生活的满意度、当前生活满意度和对未来生活满意度的评估。在这两个样本中，高水平的个人成长主动性与生活满意度的适应性上升轨迹（过去<现在<未来）相关。这些结果表明，个人成长主动性与受战争影响人群对自身身份和幸福感的适应性信念相关，并为未来在这些社区中针对个人成长主动性开展干预提供了支持。
