A Cross-Validation Study of the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory
Sheikh, Alia I.; Marotta, Sylvia A.
Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, v38 n2 p66 Jul 2005
This article is a cross-validation of R. G. Tedeschi and L. G. Calhoun's (1996) original study of the development of the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI). It describes several psychometric properties of scores on the PTGI in a sample of middle- to old-aged adults with a history of cardiovascular disease. The results did not support the original 5-component structure. Further work on the content and structure of the PTGI is warranted. (Contains 3 tables and 1 figure.)
