Introduction
Resilience encompasses a dynamic process in which a person manifests in adaptive
functioning when they encounter considerable adversity. Research into resilience indicates that it
entails posting positive results in spite of undergoing an adverse experience. Also, resilient
individual experiences sustained effective or positive functioning, even in the face of adverse
situations. Moreover, resilient individuals tend to recover more quickly following a considerable
trauma incident. From these explanations, it is evident that resilience entails two-dimensional
elements. First, an individual faces or encounters adversity. Secondly, they can overcome such
adversity.
Research on resilience endeavors to better comprehend the processes resulting in such
good results. Such studies focus on two primary forms of judgments. The first judgment seeks to
deal with the threat associated with inference. If a person has never encountered a considerable
thereat in as far as their development is concerned, they are not considered being resilient. In this
case, there ought to be passed or current hazards perceived as capable of disrupting normative
development. There ought to be demonstrable risks. Some of these risks have to do with the
socioeconomic or biological.
Werner and Smith (2001) undertook a longitudinal study on resilience in which
participants have followed from infancy to adulthood. The researchers were interested in
identifying the protective and risk factors impacting on resilience results. In this case, the
researchers established that such personal attributes as self-esteem changed on outcomes.
