Resilience after the quake: life engagement and humor as pathways to trauma recovery
Psychological resilience, life engagement, and coping humor were associated with individuals' trauma experiences following the earthquake. The findings indicate that these factors constitute relevant psychosocial resources in post-disaster contexts; however, their potential implications should be interpreted cautiously, given the study's cross-sectional design.
