“…The result was that firefighters felt motivated to go to work, and like part of the organization. By the same token, we observed that lack of social support influenced resilience, too, putting firefighters at greater risk (Lee et al, 2014;Strümpfer, 2003).…”

This study's objective is to examine the relationship between emotional demands and emotional social support at work, and the impact of resilience on health. A cross-sectional study of 156 firefighters was conducted. Descriptive analyses of the study's variables were performed, along with structural equation analysis and hierarchical regression analysis. The results suggest statistically significant relationships among the study's variables. Social support from one's boss and intense emotional demands were found to have an interaction effect on firefighters' resilience. The findings confirm the mediating role of resilience and the relationship with emotional social support from the boss on firefighters' occupational health.

“…Among post‐traumatic sequelae, depression and PTSD are the two most common mental health conditions (Ying, Wu, Lin, & Jiang, ). In several correlational studies examining trauma exposure and psychological sequelae, resilience has been negatively associated with depressive symptoms (Kukihara, Yamawaki, Uchiyama, Arai, & Horikawa, ; Rainey, Petrey, Reynolds, Agtarap, & Warren, ; Schulz et al, ; Seok et al, ; Spies & Seedat, ; Ying et al, ; Youssef, Green, Dedert et al, ) and the prediction of PTSD status/diagnosis (Fjeldheim et al, ; Lee, Ahn, Jeong, Chae, & Choi, ; Wrenn et al, ; Ying et al, ). These studies presented consistent findings that imply resilience can buffer the effects of trauma exposure on mental health.…”

Posttraumatic depression rates are increasing in the United States, and there is a great need to identify malleable factors that could moderate posttraumatic depression levels. The purpose of this study was to examine whether resilient coping moderates the effects of trauma exposure on depression, while controlling for neuroticism-an established predictor of depressive symptoms. This study used data from 3,734 pairs of twins from the community-based University of Washington Twin Registry. Each twin pair was randomized with twin A in one subsample and twin B in the second subsample. The four-item Brief Resilient Coping Scale measured resilient coping. The two-item Patient Health Questionnaire measured depression. Multiple linear regression analyses were performed on each subsample, controlling for neuroticism. In addition to significant effects of neuroticism and trauma exposure on depression (p < .001), the effect of the interaction of resilient coping and trauma exposure on depression was significant in both subsamples (p < .01). High levels of resilient coping were associated with lower depression scores in the context of previous trauma exposure. Individuals high in resilient coping who experienced significant life traumas were less depressed after trauma exposure, even after controlling for neuroticism. Because coping skills may be learned, interventions that teach resilient coping to individuals with traumatic histories merit investigation. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…Empirical evidence has shown that lower levels of trait resilience are associated with an increased risk of developing mental disorders after stressful life events, e.g. PTSD (Lee, Ahn, Jeong, Chae, & Choi, 2014) as well as other anxiety (e.g. Scali et al, 2012), depressive (e.g.…”
