Research on resilience and posttraumatic growth (PTG) has significantly advanced our understanding of human adaptability to adversity, reflecting a widespread belief in the United States that such adaptability is commonplace. However, recent studies have highlighted conceptual and methodological limitations in these fields. These limitations call into question the credibility of existing research and underscore the need for multidisciplinary perspectives in understanding adaptive responses to adversity. This special issue aims to provide a foundation for a new generation of resilience and PTG research. It brings together innovative theoretical and empirical work that focuses on several key areas: the multifaceted nature and impacts of adversity, the importance of clarifying resilience and PTG in marginalized communities, methodological advancements in the field, and challenges to core theoretical and methodological assumptions underlying our scientific practice.

了解对逆境的适应性反应：关于重新思考复原力和创伤后成长的特刊简介。


关于复原力和创伤后成长 （PTG） 的研究极大地促进了我们对人类逆境适应能力的理解，反映了美国普遍认为这种适应能力很常见。然而，最近的研究强调了这些领域的概念和方法上的局限性。这些局限性对现有研究的可信度提出了质疑，并强调了在理解对逆境的适应性反应时需要多学科视角。本期特刊旨在为新一代韧性和 PTG 研究提供基础。它汇集了创新的理论和实证工作，重点关注几个关键领域：逆境的多方面性质和影响、阐明边缘化社区的复原力和 PTG 的重要性、该领域的方法论进步，以及对我们科学实践基础的核心理论和方法论假设的挑战。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 （c） 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
