“…This included the development of both risk and protective factor models (Masten & Garmezy, 1985;Rae-Grant, Thomas, Offord, & Boyle, 1989;Rauh, 1989) and risk and resilience factor models (Rutter, 1985;Simeonsson, 1994;Werner, 1993) for investigating how the probability of poor outcomes associated with risk factors can be prevented or alleviated. In these different approaches to the study of factors influencing human functioning, risk factors are defined as conditions or influences that increase the likelihood of poor outcomes, protective factors are defined as characteristics or conditions that lower the probability of poor outcomes associated with risk factors, and resilience factors are defined as characteristics or conditions that are associated with positive or successful adaptations to the presence of risk factors (Jenson & Fraser, 2006).…”

The effects of socioenvironmental conditions that impede or undermine development (risk factors) and the conditions that promote or enhance development (opportunity factors) were examined in a study of 192 mothers and their one-year-old children. The outcomes constituting the focus of investigation were maternal psychological well-being (positive and negative affect) and child cognitive development. Results showed that the presence of multiple risk factors in the absence of opportunity factors had negative consequences on both the maternal and child outcomes, and that the presence of multiple opportunity factors in the absence of risk factors had positive consequences on both outcomes Implications for improving early childhood intervention practices are described.

“…On another dimension, a risk and resilience perspective presents a dynamic and transactional conceptualisation of child well-being (Hanewald 2011;Jensen & Fraser 2005). Child outcomes are viewed as not static as influences on their lives are constantly changing and children's capacities evolve over time and differing situations.…”

“…Thus, an important argument from the risk and resiliency perspective is children are able to play an active role in producing, crafting and mediating their own well-being. Furthermore, central to resilience is the presence of personal agency in children rather than just an absence of pathology (Jensen & Fraser 2005). The thinking is that children's own ingenuity and agency may foster and shape their well-being.…”

This article is based on findings drawn from a large-scale study aimed at mapping barriers to education in the context of social disadvantage. The research sites focused on in this paper are: one early childhood facility, four primary schools and the communities of these learning centres. Participants included learners, teachers, caregivers and parents and interested community members. Findings from the study were published widely in a research report, book chapters and peer-reviewed publications. In this article an attempt is made to revisit the findings on child well-being and quality of life, drawing on debates on sustainable development, in particular on the concept of social sustainability. The analysis draws attention to the importance of creating cultures of social sustainability within social institutions and communities to enhance the well-being of children. The article highlights the significance of values that are rights based and collective networks in cultures of sustainability.

“…It is the interplay of an individual's characteristics within their own environmental context that ultimately influences behavior and, in the long run, developmental outcomes (Jenson & Fraser, 2006). This is why so many in social work and other helping professions have embraced ecological and system theories in order to understand human behavior.…”
