BACKGROUND Coyne and Tennen [(2010). Positive psychology in cancer care: Bad science, exaggerated claims, and unproven medicine. Annals of Behavioral Medicine, 39(1), 16-26. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12160-009-9154-z] argue that completing self-reports of posttraumatic growth (PTG) requires four complicated cognitive steps. DESIGN We conducted two experiments designed to (1) use mental chronometry (i.e., reaction times on cognitive tasks) to test whether respondents engage in multiple cognitive steps when completing self-reports of PTG, and (2) determine whether coaching participants to take these steps results in a more valid assessment. METHOD In Experiment 1, 310 undergraduates were randomly assigned to complete either the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) or Stress-Related Growth Scale (SRGS), and its corresponding current version that requires only one cognitive step. In Experiment 2, 306 undergraduates were randomly assigned to complete either a guided-steps version of the SRGS or the original SRGS. RESULTS Experiment 1 indicated a very small difference in completion time for the PTGI, but not the SRGS, in comparison to the current versions, suggesting respondents do not engage in the four required cognitive steps. In Experiment 2, participants reported less PTG when coached to go through the four cognitive steps, but the resulting scores were generally unrelated to measures of convergent and predictive validity. CONCLUSION We conclude that individuals cannot accurately report PTG, even when explicitly coached.

在通过所需的认知步骤进行指导时,受访者能否准确地自我报告创伤后成长?

背景 Coyne 和 Tennen [(2010)。癌症治疗中的积极心理学:糟糕的科学、夸大的说法和未经证实的医学。行为医学年鉴,39(1), 16-26。https://doi.org/10.1007/s12160-009-9154-z] 认为完成创伤后成长 (PTG) 的自我报告需要四个复杂的认知步骤。设计 我们进行了两项实验,旨在 (1) 使用心理计时法(即认知任务的反应时间)来测试受访者在完成 PTG 自我报告时是否参与多个认知步骤,以及 (2) 确定是否指导参与者采取这些步骤导致更有效的评估。方法 在实验 1 中,310 名本科生被随机分配完成创伤后成长量表 (PTGI) 或压力相关成长量表 (SRGS),及其对应的当前版本只需要一个认知步骤。在实验 2 中,306 名本科生被随机分配完成 SRGS 的指导步骤版本或原始 SRGS。结果 实验 1 表明,与当前版本相比,PTGI 的完成时间差异非常小,但 SRGS 没有,这表明受访者没有参与四个必需的认知步骤。在实验 2 中,参与者在指导完成四个认知步骤时报告的 PTG 较少,但由此产生的分数通常与收敛效度和预测效度的测量无关。结论 我们得出结论,个人无法准确报告 PTG,即使在明确指导下也是如此。306 名本科生被随机分配完成 SRGS 的指导步骤版本或原始 SRGS。结果 实验 1 表明,与当前版本相比,PTGI 的完成时间差异非常小,但 SRGS 没有,这表明受访者没有参与四个必需的认知步骤。在实验 2 中,参与者在指导完成四个认知步骤时报告的 PTG 较少,但由此产生的分数通常与收敛效度和预测效度的测量无关。结论 我们得出结论,个人无法准确报告 PTG,即使在明确指导下也是如此。306 名本科生被随机分配完成 SRGS 的指导步骤版本或原始 SRGS。结果 实验 1 表明,与当前版本相比,PTGI 的完成时间差异非常小,但 SRGS 没有,这表明受访者没有参与四个必需的认知步骤。在实验 2 中,参与者在指导完成四个认知步骤时报告的 PTG 较少,但由此产生的分数通常与收敛效度和预测效度的测量无关。结论 我们得出结论,个人无法准确报告 PTG,即使在明确指导下也是如此。建议受访者不参与四个必需的认知步骤。在实验 2 中,参与者在指导完成四个认知步骤时报告的 PTG 较少,但由此产生的分数通常与收敛效度和预测效度的测量无关。结论 我们得出结论,个人无法准确报告 PTG,即使在明确指导下也是如此。建议受访者不参与四个必需的认知步骤。在实验 2 中,参与者在指导完成四个认知步骤时报告的 PTG 较少,但由此产生的分数通常与收敛效度和预测效度的测量无关。结论 我们得出结论,个人无法准确报告 PTG,即使在明确指导下也是如此。
