精神改变（SC）是创伤后成长（PTG）的5个领域之一。目前的创伤后成长量表（PTGI）仅用两项来评估这一领域的成长，一项侧重于宗教虔诚，另一项侧重于精神理解。增加了4个新开发的精神存在变化（SEC）项目，创建了一个扩展的PTGI（创伤后成长清单- x），反映了不同文化中对精神存在体验的多样性观点。样本来自3个国家：美国（n = 250）、土耳其（n = 502）和日本（n = 314）。分析表明，新增加的项目捕获了传统宗教概念之外的额外成长经验，但仍然与原始SC项目相关，特别是在美国和土耳其的样本中。PTGI-X与已建立的PTG预测因子、事件相关反刍和核心信念的关系在所有3个国家都得到了预测。新增的6项SEC因子具有较高的内部信度，扩充量表的5项结构得到验证性因子分析的支持。由此产生的25项PTGI-X可以作为一个有效的工具，在广泛的样本中，传统宗教信仰不太占主导地位。
Spiritual Change (SC) is one of 5 domains of posttraumatic growth (PTG). The current Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) assesses this area of growth with only 2 items, one focusing on religiosity and the other focusing on spiritual understanding. The addition of 4 newly developed spiritual-existential change (SEC) items, creating an expanded PTGI (Posttraumatic Growth Inventory-X), reflects a diversity of perspectives on spiritual-existential experiences that are represented in different cultures. Samples were obtained from 3 countries: the United States (n = 250), Turkey (n = 502), and Japan (n = 314). Analyses indicated that the newly added items capture additional experiences of growth outside traditional religious concepts, yet still are correlated with the original SC items, especially in the U. S. and Turkish samples. Relationships of the PTGI-X to established predictors of PTG, event-related rumination, and core beliefs, were as predicted in all 3 countries. The new 6-item SEC factor demonstrated high internal reliability, and the 5-factor structure of the expanded scale was supported by confirmatory factor analysis. The resulting 25-item PTGI-X can be used as a validated instrument in a wide range of samples in which traditional religious beliefs are less dominant.
