47 reactions and efforts to cope. On the other hand people’s interpretations depend both on the personal and social resources and on the stressing experiences [7]. What kind of personal characteristics and other psycho-social resources are the closest to the comments that reflect the growth and the post-trauma success? Carver notes that many of the characteristics and resources- which was found that lead to better results when we talk about the suffering of the stress factors- are also possible candidates for the prediction of growth induced by stress and of the post-trauma evolution. Until now, even just a small part of the personal characteristics was tested as specific predictors or simultaneously correlated of the stress induced growth and post-trauma evolution [6]. - the most consistent correlations were found with high level of optimism and hope. The persons who manifest the mood for waiting positive results and those who believe they have abilities to reach their goals have the greatest chances to experience growth after a strong stress. These connections were discovered both in the study of consequences of different life stress factors and in the studies which focused on specific stress factors, as marrow, mourning, chronic fibromyalgia pains. - strong correlations were found between the growth induced by stress and religiousness, inwardness, religious participation. - the extravert persons tend to mention that they benefit from the adverse events, comparing to the introvert ones. - women report post-trauma earnings more often than men, even not all the studies found a difference between the two genders. - other individual differences sporadic occurred or just the assumed ones refer to aspects as self-control, disappointment, solidity, self-efficiency, safe adult attachments, coping abilities focused on emotions or problems, person cognitive processes as the perceiving of trauma situation as challenge versus threat. All of these are connected to the continuous efforts of the person to resist or grow up (or their opposite, the abdication, which at least- directly leads to the absence of the post-trauma benefits, if not- quite to the failure)[6]. For sure, all these researches offer just suggestions, many other studies being necessary for clearing these new psychological areas. More than this, some kind of people as those very optimistic or who have a strong religious believe can be inclined to note, to identify or to experience positive modifications and to talk about post-trauma success. These types of influences could be a direct effect of personal characteristics upon the growth or evolution degree after some stressing experiences. Even such direct experiences can exist, it’s very likely that many of personal resources- identified as being connected by post-trauma growth and evolution- to indirectly operate; otherwise, their effects are mediated by the coping process variables,
