It is often characterized by decreased reactivity and faster recovery in response to similar stressors in the future. This occurs as a result of exposure to the event and subsequent learning. It is associated with the positive psychology movement. The term was coined by psychologists Richard G. Tedeschi and Lawrence G. Calhoun at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in the mid-1990s.[1] According to Tedeschi as many as 90 percent of survivors report at least one aspect of posttraumatic growth, such as a renewed appreciation for life.[2] Crystal Park proposed the stress related growth model, which highlighted the derived sense of meaning in the context of adjusting to challenging and stressful situations.[3] Joseph and Linley proposed the adversarial growth model, which linked growth with psychological wellbeing.[4]
Traditional psychology's equivalent to thriving is resilience, which is reaching the previous level of functioning before a trauma, stressor, or challenge. The difference between resilience and thriving is the recovery point – thriving goes above and beyond resilience, and involves finding benefits within challenges.[5]

Variants of the idea have included Cystal Park's proposed stress related growth model, which highlighted the derived sense of meaning in the context of adjusting to challenging and stressful situations,[6] and Joseph and Linley's proposed adversarial growth model, which linked growth with psychological wellbeing.[7] According to the adversarial growth model, whenever an individual is experiencing a challenging situation, they can either integrate the traumatic experience into their current belief system and worldviews or they can modify their beliefs based on their current experiences.[8] If the individual positively accommodates the trauma-related information and assimilates prior beliefs, psychological growth can occur following adversity.[8]
