Regression models for the associations of socio-demographic characteristics, stressful life events, and personal characteristics with post-traumatic growth

Variable	β	SE
Model 1: Demographics
Age	−0.009	0.05
Female	0.091	0.09
Live with both parents	0.100	0.09
Ethnicity	0.073	0.09
Model 2: Add Personal Characteristics
General stress	−0.131 **	0.04
Hedonic ability	0.059 #	0.03
Future Time Perspective	0.163 **	0.05
Emerging Adulthood	0.478 ***	0.12
Model 3: Add Stressful Life Events (SLEs)
Number of SLEs	−0.091 ***	0.03
Severity of SLEs: linear variable	−0.091	0.06
Severity of SLEs: curvilinear variable	0.004	0.00
Final Model: Predicting Post-traumatic Growth
Age	−0.084	0.05
Live with both parents	0.051	0.09
General stress	−0.105 *	0.04
Hedonic ability	0.060 #	0.03
Future Time Perspective	0.150 **	0.05
Emerging Adulthood	0.467 ***	0.12
Number of Stressful Life Events	−0.091 ***	0.03

Notes:

All models include age, living situation, and treatment condition as control variables. All continuous variables were standardized to the global mean.

Model 1 F = 3.41**; Model 2 F = 6.33***; Model 3 F = 6.68***; Final Model F = 8.05***.
