“…Nonetheless, the interaction hy pothesis regarding resilience factors was not confirmed and all of the interactions, with one exception, were not significant. Similarly, a previous study conducted among Russian immigrants to Israel, ex amining the relations between demands of immigration and depres sion, did not find any moderating resilience factors (Aroian & Norris, 2000). Future research should use other resilience factors to further explore these possibilities.…”

The current study investigated resilience factors in filial responsibility and their relationships to adjustment indicators. Young adult immigrants from the former Soviet Union to Israel (N = 220) completed the Comprehensive Filial Responsibilities Inventory and 4 proxy measures of adjustment: An adapted version of the Brief Symptom Inventory, the Satisfaction With Life Scale, the General Self-Efficacy Scale, and selected items from the General Life Functioning Inventory. The resilience factors examined included individual characteristics of Sense of Coherence, Optimism, and perceived social support from an adapted version of the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. In general, the resilience factors diminished the relationship between filial responsibility and some of the adjustment indicators. Overall, resilience factors make a strong and meaningful contribution to young immigrants' adjustment when main effects are considered. However, the resilience factors did not moderate the effect of filial responsibility in a protective way. The results contribute to an understanding of interrelations between postmigration filial responsibility and adjustment. Implications for social and clinical work with young-adult immigrants who have experienced filial responsibility in their family of origin are addressed.

“…Besides examining the correlation of RS and self-rated health, we did not further examine the validity of the scale, but this has been done on numerous studies by finding significant correlations with psychological outcomes (Aroian & Norris, 2000;Heilemann et al, 2003;Humphreys, 2003;Nishi et al, 2010). However, one study (Aroian & Norris, 2000) has also suggested that resilience does not modify or mediate the relationship between the demands of immigration and depression.…”

Aim: To investigate the psychometric properties of the Finnish version of the Resilience Scale (RS) and its short version (RS-14), as well as the relationship of resilience with demographic variables and self-perceived health. Method: A standard procedure was used for translation of the scale, and 243 participants (75% women, mean age = 41.0; SD = 17.8) were evaluated with the RS, the RS-14, and the EuroQol 5D. Results: The mean level of resilience was found to be moderate. Both the RS and the RS-14 showed good internal consistency reliability, .90 and .87, respectively. No clear factor structure was found. Both assessments correlated with age but there was no statistically significant association with education or gender. However, a relatively weak but statistically significant correlation between the RS and the RS-14 with self-reported health was found in women. Conclusion: The Finnish versions of the RS and RS-14 can be recommended to be used in clinical and scientific settings. Gender is suggested to be taken into account in further research of resilience.

“…There are only a few studies on resilience in older populations and specifically older Holocaust survivors (Aroian & Norris, 2000;Felton, 2000;Kahana, 1992;Lamet & Dyer, 2004;Masten, 2001;Wagnild, 2003). Kahana and Felton's studies both supported the notion that prior experience with trauma has an inoculating effect that leads to greater resilience in dealing with other forms of stress.…”
