The aim of this study was to determine associations between perceived parental attitudes and positive changes after a traumatic experience. The research group consisted of 72 young people (36 boys and 36 girls) aged 10–17 years who were victims of road accidents. The research tools were the Personal Growth Questionnaire – KOW-27 developed by N. Ogińska-Bulik and Parental Attitudes Scale – SPR, version for young people, by M. Plopa. The respondents have experienced positive changes as a result of a negative life situation. The results showed a signifi cant, though varying, role of parental attitudes, especially attitudes of mothers, that were correlated with personal growth. Their meaning is associated not so much with the general index of posttraumatic growth than with each of its dimensions.}, doi = {10.4467/20843879PR.13.004.1016}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/psychologia-rozwojowa/article/percepcja-postaw-rodzicielskich-a-osobowy-wzrost-po-traumie-u-dzieci-i-mlodziezy-ofiar-wypadkow-drogowych} }
