In summary, these theorists have assumed that individuals can be aware of their personal growth and that personal growth can be an intentional process, but that neither intentionality nor awareness is inherent in the growth process. Whether there are distinctions between these ways of growing is an empirical question that I addressed in the study presented here. Specifically, I hypothesized that respondents would be able to distinguish between ways of growing in their own lives that were in awareness, intentional, or both across several personal growth domains (Hypothesis 1). Also, because it has been claimed that the PGIS measures intentional growth of which the individual is aware (Robitschek, 1998), I hypothesized that PGIS scores would be positively related to growth that was intentional and in the individual's awareness (Hypothesis 2), and negatively related to growth of which the individual was unaware, growth that was unintentional, or both (Hypothesis 3). Finally, I hypothesized that measures of these three ways of growing (i.e., aware/intentional, aware/ unintentional, and unaware/unintentional) across personal growth domains would combine to account for a significant portion of the variance in PGIS scores (Hypothesis 4).
