摘要：Relationship termination happens relatively often in emerging adulthood but is nevertheless as distressing then as it is later in life.We examined the relationship between coping strategies and posttraumatic growth in a sample of 260 emerging adults whose heterosexual romantic relationships were terminated at most two years before participating in the study.Participants completed The Posttraumatic Growth Inventory,The COPE Inventory and Emotion Approach Coping scale.For the purposes of the study we also conceptualized a new coping inventory,related specifically to coping with relationship termination.While controlling for gender and age the coping strategies explained 34 % of variability in posttraumatic growth.Statistically significant predictors of posttraumatic growth were problem-oriented coping strategies,coping strategies,oriented towards emotions and other people,acceptance and positive self-motivation as well as coping strategies that allow some distancing from the stressor.Results indicate that posttraumatic growth is related to problem-oriented and also to emotion-oriented coping strategies,which is reasonable since relationship termination is a stressor that cannot be eliminated.It is important that an individual who is facing it can cope well with the unpleasant emotions deriving from relationship termination.
其他摘要：V obdobju prehoda v odraslost je razpad partnerske zveze relativno pogost dogodek,vendar je izguba partnerja prav tako stresna in čustveno obremenjujoča kot v kasnejših razvojnih obdobjih.V raziskavi nas je zanimala povezanost posttravmatske rasti z načini spoprijemanja s stresom pri 260 posameznikih na prehodu v odraslost,ki so doživeli razpad heteroseksualne partnerske zveze do dve leti pred sodelovanjem v raziskavi.Udeleženci so izpolnili Vprašalnik posttravmatske rasti PTGI,Vprašalnik spoprijemanja s stresom COPE,Vprašalnik na čustva usmerjenega spoprijemanja EAC in Vprašalnik spoprijemanja s stresom po razpadu partnerske zveze,ki smo ga oblikovali za namene te raziskave.Ob nadzorovanju spola in starosti načini spoprijemanja s stresom pojasnijo 34 % variabilnosti med posamezniki v posttravmatski rasti.Pomembni napovedniki posttravmatske rasti so načini spoprijemanja,ki so usmerjeni na problem,načini,ki so usmerjeni na čustva in na druge ljudi,načini,ki se nanašajo na sprejetje situacije in pozitivno samomotiviranje ter načini,ki omogočajo distanciranje od stresorja.Z rastjo so torej povezani tako načini,ki so usmerjeni na problem,kot tudi nekateri načini,ki so usmerjeni na čustva,kar je razumljivo,saj je razpad zveze stresor,ki ga posameznik naknadno ne more odstraniti,lahko se predvsem bolj ali manj uspešno spoprijema z negativnimi čustvi,ki so posledica tega stresorja.
