从B推断。L. Fredrickson（1998，2001）的积极情绪扩展和构建理论，作者假设积极情绪是特质弹性中的积极成分。2001年初，美国大学生（18名男性和28名女性）接受了测试，并在911恐怖袭击后的几周内再次接受测试。中介分析表明，在袭击后经历的积极情绪-感激，兴趣，爱，等等-充分解释了（a）危机前的弹性和后来的抑郁症状的发展和（B）危机前的弹性和危机后的心理资源的增长之间的关系。研究结果表明，危机后的积极情绪缓冲了人们对抑郁症的抵抗力，并促进了繁荣，这与扩大和建设理论相一致。讨论涉及应对的含义。
Extrapolating from B. L. Fredrickson's (1998, 2001) broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions, the authors hypothesized that positive emotions are active ingredients within trait resilience. U.S. college students (18 men and 28 women) were tested in early 2001, and again in the weeks following the September 11th terrorist attacks. Mediational analyses showed that positive emotions experienced in the wake of the attacks-gratitude, interest, love, and so forth-fully accounted for the relations between (a) precrisis resilience and later development of depressive symptoms and (b) precrisis resilience and postcrisis growth in psychological resources. Findings suggest that positive emotions in the aftermath of crises buffer resilient people against depression and fuel thriving, consistent with the broaden-and-build theory. Discussion touches on implications for coping.
