Development and validation of a culturally adapted measure of communication resilience processes for Chinese contexts

Resilience communication mitigates the negative relational effects of topic avoidance: Evidence from parental caregiving and COVID‐19 pandemic contexts

“…While CTR conceptualizes resilience as residing within communication (Buzzanell, 2010), researchers have used positive associations with posttraumatic growth, dyadic coping, mental health, health management, and relational certainty as evidence that the resilience processes have in fact engendered resilience (e.g., Kuang et al, 2022, 2023; Lillie et al, 2021; Venetis et al, 2020; Wilson et al, 2021). In the current research, the CTR processes were all positively correlated with relationship satisfaction.…”

“…This process “has its roots in sensemaking, where tried and true response patterns or routines fail to work for a disruption” (Buzzanell, 2018, p. 102). Several common alternative logics can be found throughout the CTR literature, such as humor and feeling lucky or blessed despite the hardship (Chernichky‐Karcher et al, 2019; Kuang et al, 2022; Wilson et al, 2021).…”

“…The communication theory of resilience (CTR; Buzzanell, 2010) presents five resilience processes that enable beneficial talk about hardship while avoiding harmful talk.

In her review of resilience research, Afifi (2018) called for a "better theoretical understanding of…[resilience's] effects on personal and relational health" (p. 7).…”

Resilience Theory: Adaptation and Transformation of the Film Community due to the Pandemic

“…Komunikasi dalam komunitas kemudian membentuk koneksi sosial untuk mewujudkan tujuan bersama. Dukungan dan ikatan dalam sebuah komunitas tidak lepas dari pengaruh sosial budaya yang berkembang di masyarakat (Kuang et al, 2022;Kwok et al, 2016).…”

“…Adanya upaya untuk keluar dari tekanan pandemi dengan melaksanakan kegiatan secara luring, aktif berkomunikasi melalui grup-grup percakapan, perlahan menjalin solidaritas dan menguatkan ikatan antara komunitas film. Selain itu pengaruh budaya ternyata berdampak pada dukungan sosial (Kuang et al, 2022;Kwok et al, 2016). Masyarakat Indonesia memiliki solidaritas yang tinggi dan suka menghabiskan waktu secara berkelompok entah sekadar mengobrol, gathering, arisan, reuni, pertemuan keluarga, dan sebagainya.…”
