“…However, girls reported higher resilience under adverse life conditions showing higher competence and enculturation scores in a study conducted among migrant Indian youths living in America 39. Adolescent girls in Japan also reported higher resilience 40. This may again reflect the socio-cultural contexts – where there is greater gender equity, with greater flexibility in roles and opportunities for girls and women, girls report higher resilience.…”

BackgroundResilience can be viewed as the potential to deal with stress positively. Resilient adolescents are likely to enter adulthood with a greater capacity to cope well in difficult circumstances. The purpose of this study was to measure resilience and the socio-demographic characteristics of Nepalese adolescents with low resilience.MethodsA cross-sectional study of 4 randomly selected secondary schools in Lalitpur, Nepal, was conducted with 416 adolescent students (54.8% girls; M=16.1 years, SD=1.5). Resilience was measured using the Adolescent Resilience Questionnaire (ARQ) in Nepali. Socio-demographic factors investigated included personal (e.g. gender, age, ethnicity, religion, birth order, and participation in exercise), family (e.g. type of family, parents’ relationship status, employment and literacy) and community factors (e.g. living in an urban area).ResultsMean resilience score was 311.7 (95% CI 308.6–314.5; SD=32.1) with 17.5% of adolescents classified as having low resilience. Socio-demographic factors associated with having low resilience included female gender (OR=1.73, 95% CI=1.03–2.95), attending a private school (OR=1.77, 95% CI=1.06–2.98), higher birth order compared to first born (OR=4.79, 95% CI=2.46–9.32), living in an urban area (OR=2.18, 95% CI=1.28–3.71); and being physically inactive (OR=3.0, 95% CI=1.77–5.08).ConclusionThis first investigation of resilience in Nepalese adolescents using a standardised measure of resilience identified a number of socio-demographic factors as being associated with low resilience. While most socio-demographic factors are not modifiable, they can be used to guide educators and health professionals working with adolescents to identify those who may need greater support to achieve positive outcomes in the often challenging transition through adolescence and into adulthood.

“…With respect to personality, positive associations between trait resilience and extraversion, openness to experience, agreeableness and conscientiousness and negative associations with neuroticism have been reported in adults 16,17,23 . However, the few studies that have been conducted in adolescents reveal inconsistent associations 25–27 . Indeed, among Japanese adolescents, neuroticism was predictive of resilience only among females and extraversion only among males 25 , and in a study of Italian adolescents another personality factor, dispositional optimism, was positively associated with resilience 28 .…”

“…However, the few studies that have been conducted in adolescents reveal inconsistent associations 25–27 . Indeed, among Japanese adolescents, neuroticism was predictive of resilience only among females and extraversion only among males 25 , and in a study of Italian adolescents another personality factor, dispositional optimism, was positively associated with resilience 28 . However, and crucially, in all of these studies, resilience is assessed outside the context of adversity and therefore, this research does not necessarily inform us as to how resilience emerges in response to adversity.…”

Modelling resilience in adolescence and adversity: a novel framework to inform research and practice

Recent conceptualisations of resilience have advanced the notion that it is a dynamic and multifaceted construct. However, its adaptive components, especially those forged by adversity, have not been fully realised, and its neurobiological and psychosocial underpinnings are yet to be meaningfully integrated. In part, this is because a developmental perspective is often neglected in the formulation of resilience. In this review, we consider the findings of resilience research, with a specific emphasis on the developmental period of adolescence. To bridge the gaps in our current understanding, we propose a model of resilience that is predicated on experiencing adversity. Specifically, our model provides a sophisticated insight into the components of resilience, which, together with intrinsic features, involves facilitation of, and skill acquisition via strengthening processes we term tempering and fortification. The model also points to the potential trajectories of adversity-driven resilience and forms the basis of a framework that allows for individual variance in resilience, and the identification of both neurobiological and psychosocial targets for prevention and therapeutic interventions.

“…On the other hand, Shi et al (2015) reported that there is no association between resilience and neuroticism. In another study conducted by Iimura and Taku (2018), it was observed that females have a higher conscientiousness than males. In the case of adolescents, Fayombo (2010) observed conscientiousness as the best predictor of resilience, followed by agreeableness, openness and neuroticism.…”

“…All these studies suggest an inconsistent relationship between Big Five personality factors and resilience. There are a couple of reasons cited in literature that indicate variation in findings may be due to: (a) adolescencespecific gender differences (Iimura & Taku, 2018;Weisberg et al, 2011), (b) genetic factors (Amstadter et al, 2016), (c) cultural differences (Eley et al, 2013) and (d) socioeconomic adversity (Malhi et al, 2019).…”

The outbreak of novel coronavirus, which is declared as a ‘Global Pandemic’ by the World Health Organization (WHO), has affected around 210 countries and India is not an exception. It is an unprecedented ‘public health emergency’ and therefore, it is important that individuals should not fall into a prolonged depression or any other unhealthy psychological condition. Being concerned about the population at risk, the current study thus investigates how Big Five personality model can help in building emotional resilience during pandemic conditions. The current study thus investigates a sample of 254 adults at Delhi, selected through purposive sampling. Cluster analysis and stepwise regression analysis were conducted to establish the relationship and identify the significant personality traits required for building emotional resilience. The cluster analysis showed three main personality types (resilient, overcontrollers, and emotionally dysregulated) and further stepwise regression showed that individuals high on conscientiousness, openness and neuroticism were found to be associated with more change in emotional resilience. The findings thus achieved are a step towards psychological health of the individuals at risk. Additionally, the results of the study may be added to the psychological first aid (PFA) guide as reference point. Bearing in mind the potential for future research, it is recommended that longitudinal studies should be conducted, and the relationship should also be examined in the presence of other variables such as culture, life stressors and gender.
