Abstract
Personality traits can influence posttraumatic growth (PTG). However, limited research has examined the relationship between temporal personality and PTG. From a positive perspective on temporal personality, this study explores whether a sound temporal personality (STP, a generalized and adaptive form of temporal personality) impacts PTG in daily life. In Study 1, an item pool for the STP scale was developed through an open-ended questionnaire (N = 208) and in-depth interviews (N = 17). The scale was then confirmed through exploratory (N = 539) and confirmatory factor analyses (N = 777) as well as reliability and validity tests (N = 440). Study 2 employed ecological momentary assessment (EMA) (N = 80) to investigate the relationship between STP and PTG in daily life. The STP scale demonstrated good reliability and validity, significantly predicting PTG in daily life. At the within-person level, STP had a significant positive impact on PTG. At the between-person level, STP significantly predicted PTG across multiple time points.
