Abstract

Resilience, or the capacity to overcome adverse events, and to be able to develop oneself success-fully despite very adverse circumstances (parents' death, wars, serious traumas, etc.), has become a concept of great interest during the last years and is becoming a popular term. In this paper we review the existing information about resilience, and clarify some of its central aspects such as its definition, characteristics, differentiation from other related concepts (competence, vulnerability, locus of control and attributional style, hardiness, recovery, risk and protective factors, positive psychology), and the types of studies that have been carried out on this topic (centred in the variable or in the person, as a trait or a behavioural pattern, as the process or the result). We conclude that resilience is a useful term that needs, however, more conceptual clarification as well as further studies to verify the utility of the explanatory power of the construct as regards the prevention and treatment of different psychopatho-logical disorders.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
