Özet
Abstract Posttraumatic growth is essential for understanding how individuals process trauma and adapt psychologically in the aftermath of seismic events. This study aims to explore the mediating effects of resilience, self-efficacy, and positive childhood memories on the relationship between fear of earthquakes and post-traumatic growth among survivors of the 2023 Türkiye earthquake (N = 423). The results of a multi-mediation analysis indicated that earthquake fear indirectly influenced post-traumatic growth through resilience, self-efficacy, and positive childhood memories. Consequently, these factors may serve as protective mechanisms promoting post-traumatic growth in earthquake survivors. Implementing strategies to enhance resilience and self-efficacy, as well as fostering positive childhood memories, may be essential for mitigating the adverse effects associated with earthquakes.
