Muddy); Mental Health Outcome Measures: Depression and Anxiety (BSI-12, the author: L. Derogatis). The following methods of statistical data analysis were used in the empirical study: Spearman’s correlation coefficients and multiple regression analysis. Significant positive correlations between positive religious coping and hardiness, posttraumatic growth in veteran volunteers were identified.
