Confirmatory Factor Analysis of the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory

With a sample of 372 participants who had experienced a range of adverse life events, we conducted a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) of the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (Tedeschi & Calhoun, 1996 Tedeschi , R. G. & Calhoun , L. G. ( 1996 ). The Posttraumatic Growth Inventory: Measuring the positive legacy of trauma . Journal of Traumatic Stress , 9 , 455 – 471 .[Crossref], [PubMed], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]). CFA results support the original five-factor structure, as well as indicating that a single higher-order construct with five first-order latent variables provides an acceptable fit.
