Abstract
The aim of the study is to examine relationship between post-traumaticc growth and
individual differences, specifically emotional intelligence and character strengths, and
mediating effect of rumination on this relationship in children and adolescents whose parent
has been emigrated abroad. The study involved 171 adolescents aged 12-18 whose one or
both parents has been emigrated from the country. We consider parent emigration as
potentially traumatic event for the adolescents. To measure the posttraumatic growth, we
used Georgian version of Posttraumatic growth scale for children and adolescents (PTGI-C;
Cryder, Kilmer, Tedeschi & Calhoun, 2006; Georgian version by Panjikidze & Martskvishvili,
2015); for “Big Five” personality traits we used Ten item of Personality Measurre, TIPI
(Gosling, Rentfrow, & Swann, 2003); we measured rumination with Ruminative Response
Scale, RRS (Nolen-Hoeksema,1991); for character strengths we used Global Assessment of
Character Strengths- 24 (GACS-24,McGrath, 2017); and Emotional Intelligence has been
examined with Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (TEQue-AF, TEIQUe_AF;
Petrides, 2009; Georgian version by: Martskvishvili et all, 2013). The research showed that
EI, character strengths and posttraumatic growth are positively associated. From personality
traits, Extraversion, Conscientiousness and Agreeableness indicated to have positive
correlation with posttraumatic growth, while Neuroticism is negatively correlated.
Relationship between EI and posttraumatic growth is partially mediated by brooding and
reflection. the theoretical value of the research is its findings about the role of character
strengths in post -traumatic growths. Also studying the mediating effect of rumination on
relationship between individual differences and post traumatic growth in adolescents
