Scores on the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist (PCL; Blanchard, Jones-Alezander, Buckley, & Forneris, 1996) as a function of measurement occasion and group. The upper panel shows results for the extremely resilient group (n = 255, or 70% of the sample), the resilient group (n = 51, 14%), and the new-onset group (n = 14, 4%), and the lower panel shows results for the three benefit groups (i.e., those whose symptoms decreased at one or more measurement occasions during and following deployment): the strong-benefit group (n = 8, 2%), the mild-benefit group (n = 24, 7%), and the late-benefit group (n = 14, 4%). Error bars indicate standard errors.
