Discrete memories of adverse experiences differ according to post-traumatic growth

People organize their experience into discrete memories, which are used to remember, comprehend, and predict. Retrospective evaluations of complex experiences seem to be influenced by memories of negative “peak affects” and positive “end affects”. However, it is not known if these discrete memories...

Two cross-sectional studies aimed to examine the extent to which participants classified according to the 33rd and 66th percentile scores on PTG differed in their discrete memories, reported current strengths, and perceived changes. A total of 345 people with at least one adverse experience were selected from two convenience samples.
