Despite the use of evidence-based psychotherapies for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), many Veterans report continued symptoms and impairment after treatment. Additionally, there is evidence to suggest those treatments are less effective for moral injury (MI) distress—experiencing severe guilt, shame, and anger about witnessing or performing an act that violates one’s deeply held values. Current treatments are also limited as they do not directly facilitate building positive resources to enhance social functioning. Given the prevalence of trauma distress and limitations to existing treatments, novel approaches are needed to (1) target both PTSD and MI and (2) directly impact psychosocial growth and functional recovery. Research indicates that positive psychology interventions effectively enhance well-being through cultivating positive emotions. Moral elevation (hereafter “elevation”)—a distinct, positive emotional state described as feeling moved by others’ virtuous actions—may be relevant to PTSD and MI recovery because it encourages social engagement and serves as a template for interpreting the world in a healthier way. Additionally, preliminary results from a pilot study showed promising evidence that elevation was negatively correlated with PTSD avoidance symptoms and MI. Therefore, the goal of this proposed study is to conduct a pilot trial of a web-based elevation intervention to determine if such an intervention is a feasible and acceptable therapeutic approach for Operations Enduring Freedom, Iraqi Freedom, and New Dawn Veterans. [This study will also assess the feasibility of randomization, retention, and completion of a no-treatment condition (i.e., comparison group) in preparation for future randomized controlled trials (RCTs).] The sample will include [24] Veterans [(12 per group)] who experience at least one morally injurious event and with a current diagnosis of PTSD. The online elevation intervention consists of two exercises per week for one month, totaling eight sessions. Sessions will include watching validated videos that elicit elevation and recalling moments when one experienced elevation in daily life, paired with journaling about one’s reactions to witnessed virtuous behavior. Participants [in the intervention condition] will also be presented with a brief goal to be completed prior to the next session to facilitate greater social engagement. [Participants randomized to the no-treatment condition will access the same online portal twice per week, but will not be exposed to any intervention components.] All participants will complete brief self-report measures at each online session. All participants will also complete self-report measures at baseline and 1-month follow-up that will assess PTSD symptoms, MI distress, prosocial behavior, and quality of social relationships. At the follow-up assessment, participants randomized to the intervention condition will complete an individual qualitative interview with a member o...
