          Abstract

          Un estudio retrospectivo transversal con 304 estudiantes universitarios y sus familiares indagó sobre el hecho de cambio extremo más importante de los últimos años, su impacto en las creencias básicas y en el crecimiento personal posterior al hecho. Los hechos positivos refuerzan mucho más las creencias básicas positivas de lo que los negativos transforman estas creencias de positivas en neutras. En cambio, los hechos positivos las transforman de positivas en muy positivas. El desarrollo de nuevas posibilidades y cambio de prioridades en la vida los producen tanto hechos positivos como negativos extremos. Los hechos negativos producen específicamente efectos de crecimiento en la fortaleza personal y en darse cuenta que se puede contar con otros o mejorar las relaciones con otros. El cambio de creencias básicas se asoció congruentemente con el crecimiento personal en el caso de hechos positivos y ambivalentes.

          Translated abstract

          A retrospective cross-sectional study with a sample of 304 university students and relatives asked about the most important recent extreme life change events, its impact on basic beliefs and on personal growth following the life event. Positive events reinforce positive basic beliefs much more than negative events transform these beliefs from positive to neutral. On the other hand, positive events transform them from positive into highly positive. It was also found that extreme positive events generate as much growth or flourishing after its onset as negative events. The development of new possibilities and changes of life priorities are produced by both positive and negative extreme events. Negative events specifically produce growth effects of reinforcement of personal strength and of valuing social support. Changes in basic beliefs are congruently associated with personal growth in the case of positive and ambivalent events.

            Positive psychology progress: empirical validation of interventions.

            Positive psychology has flourished in the last 5 years. The authors review recent developments in the field, including books, meetings, courses, and conferences. They also discuss the newly created classification of character strengths and virtues, a positive complement to the various editions of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (e. g., American Psychiatric Association, 1994), and present some cross-cultural findings that suggest a surprising ubiquity of strengths and virtues. Finally, the authors focus on psychological interventions that increase individual happiness. In a 6-group, random-assignment, placebo-controlled Internet study, the authors tested 5 purported happiness interventions and 1 plausible control exercise. They found that 3 of the interventions lastingly increased happiness and decreased depressive symptoms. Positive interventions can supplement traditional interventions that relieve suffering and may someday be the practical legacy of positive psychology.

              The Posttraumatic Growth Inventory: measuring the positive legacy of trauma.

              The development of the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, an instrument for assessing positive outcomes reported by persons who have experienced traumatic events, is described. This 21-item scale includes factors of New Possibilities, Relating to Others, Personal Strength, Spiritual Change, and Appreciation of Life. Women tend to report more benefits than do men, and persons who have experienced traumatic events report more positive change than do persons who have not experienced extraordinary events. The Posttraumatic Growth Inventory is modestly related to optimism and extraversion. The scale appears to have utility in determining how successful individuals, coping with the aftermath of trauma, are in reconstructing or strengthening their perceptions of self, others, and the meaning of events.
