What is Resilience?
Activity
Psychosocial Resilience A dynamic multidimensional set of personal capabilities as well as social and material assets/resources that individuals, families, and communities mobilize to mentally and emotionally embrace “turbulent” change and transformation while maintaining routine functioning without loss of identity, integrity, or core purpose in life that defines them as who they are individually as well as collectively.

Can Research Contribute to Resilience?
Can Research be a Barrier Resilience?
Coherent Pathways
Sense of Coherence A global orientation expressinng…a pervasive, enduring though dynamic feeling of confidence that: (1) the stimuli deriving from one’s internal and external environments in the course of living are structured and predictable, and explicable; (2) the resources are available to one to meet the demands posed by these stimuli; and (3) these demands are challenges, worthy of investment and engagement. Antonovsky, Aaron. “The salutogenic perspective: Toward a new view of health and Illness,” Advances, 4 No.1 (1987), 19.
Sense of Coherence Comprehensibility 2. Manageability 3. Meaningfullness
Does the research promote or impeded coherence among participants?
