Resilience research is concerned with studying the complex interplay of personal and ecological resources that promote positive adaptation following adversity in different populations. Although much research has investigated adjustment in young persons exposed to intimate partner violence (IPV), most of this research has taken a deficit approach by focusing on the negative cascades of effects that exposure to IPV has on the functioning of this group. In this paper, we discuss a mixed methods integration of two independent strength-based or resilience-focused studies involving Canadian youth exposed to IPV. Study 1 is a qualitative constructive grounded theory study that aimed to identify the coping strategies that youth exposed to IPV use to effectively cope with the traumatic experience of growing up in an IPV-affected family. This study included 13 youths with a history of IPV exposure who completed individual in-depth interviews, the drawing of ecomaps, and photovoice projects. Study 2 is a quantitative population-based study that aimed to identify profiles of adjustment in a cohort of 3886 youth who had previously experienced IPV exposure, as well as the specific risk and promotive factors that significantly predicted membership in the identified adjustment profiles. Both studies independently identified personal and ecological resources that were instrumental in supporting the resilience of study participants. By comparing and contrasting the two sets of findings, the present mixed methods integration provides further evidence on the complex interactions of mechanisms that promote positive adaptation in youth exposed to IPV, which aligns with a multisystemic understanding of resilience in this population. We provided recommendations for practice and policy based on the integrated findings.
