“…They did this by drawing on internal resources that facilitated self‐regulation and meaning making, and relationships that provided comfort and support. The importance of these resources has been discussed extensively in resilience research (Botha & van den Berg, 2016 ; Collishaw et al, 2016 ; Haffejee & Theron, 2019 ; Mosavel et al, 2015 ; Van Breda, 2018 ). Reliance on faith and religious beliefs is also consistent with existing research in contexts challenged by multiple adversities (Abualkibash & Lera, 2015 ; Panter‐Brick & Eggerman, 2012 ; Wilson et al, 2016 ).…”

“…The strongest significant predictor of PTSD symptoms in this case was life satisfaction, which the authors suggested may be the cognitive pathway through which gratitude is associated with PTSD (Israel-Cohen et al, 2015). Finally, Black South African adolescents were more satisfied with their lives when able to mobilize resilience resources following traumatic experiences (Botha and Van den Berg, 2016). All of the cited research found that children’s capacity to maintain a sense of satisfaction with their lives had the effect of protecting their mental health, providing them with resources for survival even when their general life conditions were severely compromised (Getanda et al, 2015).…”

“…Although many regions of PALOP face a myriad of hardships, including chronic conflict and violence and intergenerational structural disadvantages and inequalities (WHO, 2021a), social relationships and resilience-enablers combined with cultural practices bolster positive adjustment capabilities in these populations (Dass-Brailsford, 2005;Theron, 2020;van Schalkwyk & Wissing, 2010). Research on resilience found that African cultures value religious beliefs and practices (Botha & van den Berg, 2016;Dass-Brailsford, 2005;Theron, 2020), and that both spirituality and religious orientation may lead to more resilient outcomes (Dass-Brailsford, 2005). One explanation for this may be that religious practices and beliefs contribute to emotional regulation abilities (Botha & van den Berg, 2016).…”

“…Social support refers to the emotional, instrumental, or informational help derived from a network of people such as family, friends, and significant others (Alsubaie et al, 2019;Gariépy et al, 2016), while selfesteem can be described as a favorable or unfavorable attitude towards oneself at a given time (Arsandaux et al, 2021;Soto-Sanz et al, 2019). Resilience concerns the active psychological process of mobilizing personal resources and coping mechanisms when faced with distress in challenging circumstances, resulting in successful adaptative outcomes (Botha & van den Berg, 2016;Karaman & Efilti, 2019). For this reason, resources such as social support and self-esteem may, therefore, be good predictors of resilience considering that, when mobilized, they contribute to adaptative outcomes under challenging circumstances.…”
