| dc.description.abstract | Historically, childhood trauma has been associated with a variety of negative life outcomes including poor emotional adjustment in adulthood, low educational and professional attainment, and all manner of psychopathology. However, more recent research has noted that the majority of individuals with histories of childhood trauma adapt quite successfully to adulthood and live happy and productive lives. Researchers now recognize that the presence of certain protective environmental and personal factors can improve how children cope with obstacles presented by histories of trauma. By identifying these factors, researchers can help clinicians, social justice advocates and others take a pro-active approach, as opposed to a reactive approach, to reducing the negative effects of childhood trauma. There currently exists no highly comprehensive measure of protective factors. This study aimed to finalize the Social Emotional Resources Inventory (SERI) - a comprehensive measure of protective factors - by revising the SERI where necessary and providing previously lacking estimates of convergent and discriminant evidence. The final SERI was considered to be a good fit for the data. The final SERI consists of 55 items, grouped into 14 factors, which may be hierarchically grouped into second and third-order factors if necessary. The results of this SERI administration demonstrated acceptable test-retest reliability and convergent/discriminant evidence across most sub-scales. | |
