	Resilience - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Resilience generally means the ability to recover from (or to resist being affected by) some shock, insult, or disturbance.
		In physics and engineering, resilience is defined as the capacity of a material to absorb energy when it is deformed elastically and then, upon unloading to have this energy recovered.

	Psychological resilience - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Resilience is a commonly used concept in psychology (such as in child development, adolescent development, psychopathology, and positive psychology) to describe the positive capacity of people to cope with stress and catastrophe.
		In this sense "resilience" corresponds to cumulative "protective factors" and is used in opposition to cumulative "risk factors".
		During the 1990's, enhancing resilience, for example through social support and stress inoculation programs such as outdoor education, became an increasingly sought goal of community intervention efforts.

		Resilience research validates prior research and theory in human development that has clearly established the biological imperative for growth and development that exists in the human organism and that unfolds naturally in the presence of certain environmental characteristics.
		We are all born with an innate capacity for resilience, by which we are able to develop social competence, problem-solving skills, a critical consciousness, autonomy, and a sense of purpose.
		Lastly, resilience is manifested in having a sense of purpose and a belief in a bright future, including goal direction, educational aspirations, achievement motivation, persistence, hopefulness, optimism, and spiritual connectedness.

		Resilience research, the long-term studies of positive youth development in the face of environmental threat, stress, and risk succinctly identify these principles as caring relationships, high expectation messages, and opportunities for participation and contribution.

	Resilience: A Common or Not-So-Common Phenomenon?
		This distinction between recovery and resilience is an important one, especially if one appreciates the assumptions of normality that dominated the fields of psychology and mental health for many years.
		It challenges the assumption that only “rare individuals with exceptional emotional strength are capable of resilience.” It highlights the inner resources that most people possess (a subheading in Bonanno’s article reads “resilience is common”) and questions any position that emphasizes the limitations of individuals to respond to adversity.
		Resilience does not come from rare and special qualities, but from the everyday magic of ordinary, normative resources in the minds, brains, and bodies of children, in their families and relationships, and in their communities.

	The International Resilience Project: Findings from the Research and the Effectiveness of Interventions
		The problem of defining resilience as a construct may not be for lack of agreement on many of the factors and characteristics of resilience; rather, the problem may be more related to the dynamic interaction of the resilience factors, and the sources of resilience factors; e.g., internal/external; resources/skills.
		A definition of resilience that appears to incorporate the literature and is used in the International resilience Project is: Resilience is a universal capacity which allows a person, group or community to prevent, minimize or overcome the damaging effects of adversity.
		The resilient behavior may be in response to adversity in the form of maintenance or normal development despite the adversity, or a promoter of growth beyond the present level of functioning.

	Resilience
		Resilience of a system has been defined in two very different ways in the ecological literature.
		The first definition, and the more traditional, concentrates on stability near an equilibrium steady-state, where resistance to disturbance and speed of return to the equilibrium are used to measure the property (Pimm, 1984; Tilman and Downing 1994).
		on engineering resilience, reinforces the dangerous myth that the variability of natural systems can be effectively controlled, that the consequences are predictable and that sustained production is an attainable and sustainable goal.

	Enterprise Resilience (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The concept of resilience originated in the ecological and social sciences, where it is critical for survival and growth.
		This period is typified by gradual accumulation of wealth, increasing connectedness, and decreasing resilience.
		This leads to collapse of the existing equilibrium, and the system enters a period of chaotic change and reorganization, corresponding to the back loop of the adaptive cycle, during which wealth is depleted and connectedness decreases dramatically.

		In addition, the proposed "advantages" of resilience education are not linked with any data whatsoever about educational attainment from other studies (The authors often cite the work of British child psychiatrist Michael Rutter's 1985 work on resilience, but he did not connect resilience to educational attainment).
		Resilience education is a "paradigmatic" shift from a banking concept of education towards a developmental approach that focuses on learners' strengths.
		Instead of focusing on "resilience factors as the flip side of risk factors" this is an intelligent presentation of resilience education as pedagogy.
