Description: The umbrella term ‘resilience’ encompasses more than the absence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, its precise conceptualization is currently debated. Apart from single studies on bivariate associations, little is known about intercorrelations between resilience-related concepts. A comprehensive meta-analysis on these relationships and their unique association with posttraumatic outcomes is still missing. To close this gap, the current meta-analytical project firstly examines the relationship between resilience-related constructs [sense of coherence (SOC), trait-resilience, hardiness, locus of control (LOC), self-efficacy, sense of mastery (SOM), dispositional optimism, and openness] and outcomes of traumatic exposure (PTSD symptoms and posttraumatic growth).
