Abstract
This study assessed the influence of social participation in assemblies, marches and resistance activities, social sharing experience with other; subjective severity of the event and coping strategies on posttraumatic growth in 301 adult residents Puerto Aysen, where at the beginning of 2012, were performed social manifestations to improve their quality of life and were harshly repressed by an unusual police force sent from the capital, Santiago de Chile. The results show that people who participated in manifestations and resistance activities, socially shared, used strategies of seeking instrumental support, active coping, religiosity and denial, among others, had higher levels of posttraumatic growth. Then we present the data and the implications of these findings.
