Abstract

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：重新思考复原力与创伤后成长》特刊导言。

有关复原力和创伤后成长（PTG）的研究极大地推动了我们对人类逆境适应能力的理解，反映出美国人普遍认为这种适应能力是司空见惯的。然而，最近的研究凸显了这些领域在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，并强调了从多学科角度理解逆境适应性反应的必要性。本特刊旨在为新一代抗逆力和 PTG 研究奠定基础。它汇集了创新的理论和实证研究成果，重点关注以下几个关键领域：逆境的多面性和影响、阐明边缘化社区的抗逆力和PTG的重要性、该领域的方法论进展以及对我们科学实践所依据的核心理论和方法论假设的挑战。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
