Design for Adversarial Growth: Post-Traumatic Growth, Resilience and Subjective Wellbeing 1: School of Design, Southern University of Science and Technology; 2: College of Design and Innovation, Tongji University; 3: Department of Design, Management and Production, University of Twente Adversity is an inherent part of human life. This paper adopts a transformative approach to adversity, viewing it as fertile ground for personal growth. Through a theory-driven narrative review, we synthesise insights from positive psychology, post-traumatic growth, resilience, and wellbeing-driven design to introduce the Design for Adversarial Growth (DAG) framework, a guide for shaping designers' motivations and cultivating their sensibilities when designing for adversarial growth. This framework encompasses three key components of adversarial growth, each illustrated through design examples. We further discuss its contributions to design research and practice, as well as the ethical considerations for its application. With this framework, we seek to advance the discourse on wellbeing-driven design by situating it within a broader theoretical and practical scope. View Paper: https://doi.org/10.21606/drs.2026.973
