Humanity exists in a dangerous world where various levels of adversity occur throughout the lifespan. Life stressors, either witnessed or experienced, are common occurrences and can be considered potentially traumatic events (PTE). The differences in distress levels experienced by victims and the pervasiveness of PTE reveal the need for continued research to investigate factors that may support resilience. Various studies have attempted to understand what factors predict resilience and whether the typical focus of preventing adverse outcomes after trauma should be on eliminating risk factors leading to negative consequences or developing positive traits that predict resilience (Martinez & Ruch, 2016). This study investigated the predictive power of PTE and the character strengths of hope and spirituality on resilience. A convenience sample of 252 United States adult residents (males 39.3%, females 59.5%, other 0.4%) completed an online survey that included demographic questions and measures of resilience, hope, spirituality, and potentially traumatic events (PTE). A standard multiple regression model predicted 71% of the variance in resilience for the sample, based on knowing an individual's total number of PTE, hope, and spirituality scores (R²=.708). All individual predictors were statistically significant (hope p<.001, spirituality p<.001, and PTE p=.034), with hope (β=0.767) having higher predictive power than spirituality (β=.137). PTE had the lowest predictive power (β=.073). PTE was expected to predict resilience negatively; however, results indicate a small positive relationship between PTE and resilience. The importance of these findings related to promoting resilience is discussed.
