Exploring the Absence of Associations: Post-Traumatic Growth, Flourishing, and Social Support in Young Adults

This study tries to understand the relationship between Post traumatic Growth, Flourishment, and Social Support and aiming to uncover potential correlational and regression effects. A series of psychometric evaluations that included Trauma History Questionnaire, Post Traumatic Growth Inventory, The Flourishing Scale, and Social Support Inventory were administered on a sample of 75 young adults. Contrary to expectations, no significant correlation or regression was found between any variables. (PTG-flourishing: (r = 0.123, p = 0.293); PTG-social support: (r = -0.024, p = 0.842); flourishing-social support: (r = -0.071, p = 0.549). This absence of associations prompts a re-evaluation of existing theoretical frameworks and underscores the complexity of factors influencing post-traumatic experiences and psychological well-being. The implications and the possible explanations of these findings are discussed in the context of future research directions.
