Positive Changes After Trauma: Because of or Despite the Trauma
No full textIn the current study, I want to give respondents a more attractive choice than reporting PTG. I am going to ask people who have experienced a trauma whether they have experienced positive change since their most distressing event.

Hypothesis for Heros Journey - Exp
No full textWe hypothesize that participants randomly assigned to be primed with a heros journey story (via a short video of the hero's arc, followed by triavia questions that reinforce the character arc) will self-report higher scores on the PTGI (measure of PTG), in comparison to participants who are primed with either a non-heros journey story or anti-heros journey.

We believe popular movies that follow the heros journey storyline help perpetuate the cultural expectation that if you experience hardship, it is supposed to make you stronger. In this study, we are testing whether priming participants with the heros journey storyline will result in higher self-reports of PTG
