What is resilience?
To be resilient is to do well despite challenges. A resilient person does better than what is expected of them within their circumstances. It can be difficult to determine what this means. For example, they could do better in one area than in another.
What are different approaches to supporting resilience?
Resilience can be supported once the underlying problem has been isolated. You can then determine an appropriate solution. To determine whether behavior may be changed, the theory of planned behavior may be used. The intention to go through with behavior is affected by the personal attitude towards the behavior, the social encouragement to perform the action, and the perceived behavior control. All of these factors contribute towards intention, and the higher the intention, the more likely the behavior will be followed through.
Really good description of resilience! Not being sure of what doing better than expected in their circumstances was a good point to bring up. That was good that you included needing to isolate the problem first in order to support resilience, as that was what Jonatan really stressed. Good post!
