ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to identify the relations among gratitude disposition, deliberate rumination, positive reframing and posttraumatic growth following a relational loss among middle-aged adults. The data consisted of the survey results of 335 adults between 40 and 60. The results of structuring equation modeling(SEM) analysis indicated that deliberate rumination or positive reframing mediated the relation between gratitude disposition and posttraumatic growth. The dual-mediating effect of deliberate rumination and positive reframing was also significant for the relationship between gratitude disposition and posttraumatic growth. Based on these findings, we discuss effective intervention strategies for middle-aged adults who have experienced a relational loss.
