Model of Personality Development through the Stages Accompanying Transition Following CLE

Scientific goal of the study (utilizing mixed methods) is to (1) operationalize and empirically validate two constructs related to struggling with a Critical Life Event (CLE): the Positive Disintegration (Dąbrowski, 1967, 1972, 1979, 1996) and Transition Cycle (Hopson, 1981). As a result, there will be developed: (A) the Positive Disintegration Questionnaire, i.e., a quantitative tool for assessing adult personality development following a CLE and (B) the Transition Stage Questionnaire, i.e., a quantitative tools for screening and identifying the stage of transition and (2) test the model of a comprehensive Model of Positive Disintegration through the Stages Accompanying Transition Following CLE.
