Resilience is really a broad umbrella term for the capacity of any system to recover from or withstand a disturbance with might cause it to fail or go off track, and that could refer to an individual\u2019s life, whether they can recover from adversity, or it could refer to a family system, or an economic system, and I think the whole planet is hoping that we see resilience in the global ecosystem, so it\u2019s any kind of capacity of a system to recover from a significant threat. But I study children and families who do well under conditions of adversity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Resilience is dynamic, it\u2019s always changing, and resilience is always referring to how well you\u2019re doing in a context of great difficulty at a particular point in time. So, you could be doing well following adversity at one point in time and then not be doing well, you know so you could, you know, look good and then flounder, or you could struggle initially after a major disaster or trauma it\u2019s perfectly typical for people to struggle and not do so well, and if you went in there and measured everybody right then and there you might say \u201cWow, this isn\u2019t going so well\u201d but then people recover over time. So there\u2019s different patterns, that people follow, resilience refers to the many processes of recovery and good functioning during or after a difficult challenge, but it\u2019s certainly the case that a person who looks to be showing resilience at one point in time might not look good later or at a different point in time, and it\u2019s also the case that people will show resilience in one domain of functioning and not in another. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
