Document Summary
Summary of 50 years risk & resilience research: resilience arises from ordinary resources and processes. Risk factors: efficient way to identify people with higher than usual probability of developing in problematic manner, genetic risk, genotype and reaction ranges, exposure to stressful life experiences, events : natural or relational. Status indicators of precarious life circumstances: conditions like ses, race, poverty, tremendous variability in the ways the lives of persons at risk unfold over time. Successful transformation to a new functional state: sounds like if you haven"t had a rough life then you cannot be resilient. Process of resilience: coping with challenges, recovery from catastrophe, posttraumatic growth, achievement of good outcomes among people at high risk for failure or maladaptation, positive development. Predicting outcomes of risk: timing, dose, and duration matter. Individual differences in personal resources: personality and cognitive skills and sex differences, contextual factors - family, friends, community, culture, and the conditions for recovery.
