The prevalence rates for interpersonal and intrapersonal PTG were 32% and 37%, respectively. Hierarchical regression analyses showed that common predictors of inter- and intrapersonal PTG were intrusive, hyper-aroused, and avoidant states, perceived family emotional support, and being married. Younger age, pre-disaster employment, and disaster-related traumatic experiences were specific predictors of interpersonal PTG, while adaptive coping was a specific predictor of intrapersonal PTG. Implications and limitations of this study were discussed.enPostraumatic GrowthTsunamiThailandCopingPeer Reviewed Journal Article
