. The COVID-19 pandemic was recognized as a collective trauma and as a major threat to mental health. Recent literature focused on the stress symptomatology or post-traumatic stress disorder associated to the COVID-19 exposure. The concept that people have a natural inclination toward growth, even under stressful and threatening events, gathered less attention. Previous research has analyzed antecedents of post-traumatic growth (PTG) with non-conclusive results. . The present research aimed at including findings on PTG from personality traits, i.e., sense of control and self-mastery, and distal condition of nurturance and support received by others, i.e., cognitive and affective well-being. Analyses were based on 4934 interviews with adults (M = 57.81 years, 55.5% women) from the Swiss Household Panel study. . Relationships over time emerged between sense of control and self-mastery on PTG and worries, measured after two years, via the mediation of cognitive and affective well-being. . Results come from a large study in a design seldom employed in this type of research and can inform both research and interventions.
新冠疫情被视为一种集体创伤，也是对心理健康的重大威胁。近期文献聚焦于与接触新冠病毒相关的应激症状或创伤后应激障碍。即便在压力和威胁事件下，人们仍有自然成长倾向的这一概念较少受到关注。此前研究分析了创伤后成长（PTG）的影响因素，但结果尚无定论。本研究旨在纳入人格特质（即控制感和自我掌控感）以及他人给予的养育和支持的远端条件（即认知和情感幸福感）对PTG的影响。分析基于对瑞士家庭小组研究中4934名成年人（平均年龄57.81岁，女性占55.5%）的访谈。两年后通过认知和情感幸福感的中介作用，控制感和自我掌控感与PTG及担忧之间随时间出现了相关关系。研究结果来自一项大型研究，采用了此类研究中很少使用的设计，可为研究和干预提供参考。
