Research has confirmed there is a silver lining to many aversive experiences and that negative occurrences can be an opportunity for post-traumatic growth (PTG). To investigate benefit-finding in the COVID-19 crisis, 179 MTurk workers were surveyed. Participants reported dips in satisfaction with work, leisure, fitness, mental health, and finances in the midst of the pandemic, relative to 6 months prior and in the future. Benefit-finding in COVID-19 was significantly related to PTG, coping, gratitude, and mental health. The most common benefits of the crisis included more time with family and friends, slower pace of life, and improvements in physical health.

研究证实，许多令人厌恶的经历都有一线希望，负面事件可能是创伤后成长 (PTG) 的机会。为了调查 COVID-19 危机中的利益发现，对 179 名 MTurk 工人进行了调查。与 6 个月前和未来相比，在大流行期间，参与者对工作、休闲、健身、心理健康和财务的满意度有所下降。COVID-19 中的获益发现与 PTG、应对、感恩和心理健康显着相关。这场危机最常见的好处包括与家人和朋友在一起的时间更长、生活节奏更慢以及身体健康状况得到改善。
