This article is a Preprint
Preprints are preliminary research reports that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Preprints posted online allow authors to receive rapid feedback and the entire scientific community can appraise the work for themselves and respond appropriately. Those comments are posted alongside the preprints for anyone to read them and serve as a post publication assessment.

ABSTRACT
In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic’s peak, many individuals faced unprecedented levels of perceived threat. That being said, it has been reported that many individuals also reported positive psychological outcomes and engagement in altruistic or prosocial behaviour. This quasi-experimental study delves into the interplay of sample types (students versus community members) and sample timing (pre- and post-vaccine availability) on psychological disruption variables tied to positive psychological outcomes. Through a comprehensive questionnaire comprising seven measures, administered online to participants from distinct populations at two crucial time points, our findings unravel a compelling narrative. Notably, the community and Time 1 sample consistently exhibit heightened levels of psychological disruption, posttraumatic growth, and positive psychological outcomes. As anticipated, mediation analysis underscores the pivotal role of a disruption in core beliefs in mediating the relationship between threatening events and posttraumatic growth. This study not only sheds light on these intricate dynamics but also holds implications for researchers navigating the multifaceted landscape of psychological outcomes in the face of unprecedented global challenges.
