This session will present results of an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) of a newly developed scale to measure posttraumatic growth. Attendees will learn about the scale-item development process including factor solutions and model fit, as well as the results of evidence for validity and reliability based on data from 1,600 respondents. We will discuss implications for the use of this scale in research and how that can influence counseling practice.
