Discussion of the Replication

Considering the discussion of PTG being a necessary construction, similar to Taylor and Brown's concept of positive illusions (1988), I do not want to dismiss the concept at all. In the Bernese study, the participants might have had difficulties distinguishing between a global sense of coherence and the current state of having experienced PTG. Still, the direction of the path was clearly the inverse of the Hogan and Schmidt (2002) model, indicating that resilience or the capacity to cope with adverse life events influenced the grief reaction and not vice-versa.

In the next section of this chapter I want to discuss predictors of PTG using a different study on parental stress and bereavement. Here, the focus is on coping, especially emotion regulation.
