Abstract
<jats:p><p><strong>Context and relevance.</strong> Military events impact the psychological well-being of individuals both directly and indirectly involved in armed conflict. <strong>Objective:</strong> to analyze the characteristics of psychological coping resources depending on the posttraumatic response profile of individuals directly and indirectly involved in military conflict. <strong>Hypothesis.</strong> Posttraumatic response profiles will differ based on the degree of involvement in military conflict, age, type and duration of trauma, and the availability of instrumental and psychological resilience resources.<strong> Methods and materials.</strong> The study involved 614 individuals aged 18 to 77 years (M = 34, SD = 12), 89% of whom were women. Among them, 205 were residents of Berdyansk, Donetsk, and Mariupol &mdash;regions directly affected by military conflict. The International Trauma Questionnaire, the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, the Resilience Scale, the Identity Resilience Scale, authenticity questionnaires, and the COPE-30 were used. <strong>Results.</strong> Four posttraumatic response types were identified &mdash; normative, transformational, dialectical, and dysfunctional &mdash; corresponding to Bonanno&rsquo;s classification. The type of response was found to be associated with age, trauma type, trauma duration, and the degree of involvement (direct vs indirect). The profiles also differed in terms of the use of personal psychological and instrumental resilience resources. <strong>Conclusions.</strong> Regardless of their degree of involvement in military conflict, most individuals demonstrated adaptive responses to traumatic events. The dialectical profile identified in the study expands the current understanding of posttraumatic trajectories, confirming that individuals with posttraumatic symptoms may also experience posttraumatic growth.</p></jats:p>
