摘要

We are confident that researchers who take note of the suggestions raised by the commentaries will greatly advance the study of post-traumatic growth. Our response focuses on four broad issues-the exact nature of post-traumatic growth, the role of 'traumatic' experiences, methodological improvements for future research, and why it really does matter whether retrospective perceptions of post-traumatic growth reflects genuine change. We hope that our target article and the discussion it has generated will inspire rigorous research into the positive outcomes that may follow from experiencing trauma and adversity.
