Facets of personality from the Big 5 model, familial coping mechanisms, and interpersonal support were selected to predict perceived benefits and subjective well-being with 43 participants from varied ages, income levels, and ethnicities who experienced a natural disaster. Results indicate positive changes were predicted by distinct variables (mental healthiness was predicted by high agreeableness, passive appraisal, and reframing, accounting for 43% of the variance, whereas perception of benefits was predicted by high conscientiousness and seeking social support, which accounted for 50% of the variance). Thus, it appears that long-standing, pretraumatic individual and familial differences predict these posttraumatic outcomes.
