87名唐氏综合症儿童的父母（63名女性，24名男性）写了关于发现他们的孩子患有唐氏综合症的故事，并完成了主观幸福感（SWB）和压力相关成长的问卷调查，并完成了作为自我发展衡量标准的句子完成测试。其中42人在两个月后参加了随访。在这两个时期，故事中的伏笔和幸福结局都与主观幸福感的增强有关。适应性变化的证据——积极地经历范式转变——在两个时期都与压力相关的成长和自我发展有关。故事中高度的封闭感和适应感与最高水平的压力相关增长有关。讨论了幸福感和个人成长研究的意义。(C) 2000年学术出版社。
Eighty-seven parents of children with Down Syndrome (DS; 63 women, 24 men) wrote narratives about finding out that their child had DS and completed questionnaire measures of subjective well-being (SWB) and stress-related growth and completed the Sentence Completion Test as a measure of ego development. Forty-two of these individuals participated in a follow-up 2 pears later. Foreshadowing and happy endings in the stories were related to heightened SWB at both time periods. Evidence of accommodative change-actively experiencing a paradigmatic shift-was related to stress-related growth and ego development at both time periods. A high sense of closure and accommodation in the stories was associated with the highest levels of stress-related growth. Implications for research on well-being and personal growth are discussed.
