Abstract

This article discusses the relationship between posttraumatic growth and deliberate rumination and main cause of deliberate rumination. As Tedeschi & Calhoun (2004) mentions, the concept of posttraumatic growth (PTG), people who experiences a traumatic event not only show posttraumatic symptoms but can also have a positive change in mentality afterwards. According to the research of Hannah Stockton (2011), PTG is positively correlated with deliberate rumination. The model of PTG proposed by Tedeschi & Calhoun (2004) shows that after experiencing a traumatic event, the individual will encounter cognitive challenges, a change in goal of life and beliefs and enter the stage of intrusive rumination. In the stage of intrusive rumination, in the process of self-disclosure or after a period of time, the patient will give up past cognition, undergo a change in mood, and then enter the stage of refined rumination, which is shown to rebuild cognition, and altered priorities.
