“…Interestingly, marital status was not associated with resilience in the present study, however, it is evident from the findings and from previous research, that support of this nature has a bearing on how an individual responds to psychological stress (Bonanno et al 2007;Corina and Adriana 2013). For example, men tested in the presence of a supportive spouse/partner showed lower cardiovascular reactivity to acute stress (Phillips et al 2006); and individuals who perceive themselves generally to have good social support reveal lower resting cardiovascular function (Hughes and Howard 2009) and faster habituation to recurrent acute stress (Howard and Hughes 2012).…”

Work stress is a growing problem in Europe. Together, the negative physiological effect of stress on health, and increasing age increases the risk of developing cardiovascular disease in those aged over 50years. Therefore, identifying older workers who may be at risk of work-related stress, and its physiological effects, is key to promoting their health and wellbeing in the workforce. The present study examined the relationship between perceived psychological resilience and work-related factors (work engagement and presenteeism) and the physiological response to acute psychological stress in older manual workers in the UK. Thirty-one participants, mean (SD) age 54.9 (3.78)years reported perceived levels of resilience, work engagement, and presenteeism using standardized questionnaires. Cardiovascular measurements (heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) and salivary cortisol were used to assess their physiological response to an acute psychological stress task. Resilience was not associated with work-related factors or reactivity. However, workers with higher work engagement showed lower SBP (p=0.02) and HR (p=0.001) reactivity than those with lower work engagement. Further, those with higher sickness presenteeism also had higher HR reactivity (p=0.03). This suggests a potential pathway by which higher work stress might contribute to the risk of future cardiovascular disease.

“…The relationship between resilience and perceived social support has been documented by a wide range of studies (60)(61)(62). A majority of research focuses on examining the effects of perceived social support on resilience, suggesting that individuals with high perceived social support are reported with a higher level of resilience (60,61,63). A small group of studies explored how resilient people broaden their social networks and acquire supports from the established network.…”

Objectives: The existing studies found that resilience is a salient trait that can significantly affect people's psychological well-being with substance use disorders (SUDs). However, few studies examined how the mechanisms are connected between resilience and mental health among patients with Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders—fifth edition SUD. This study investigated the mediation effects of positive affect, perceived social support, and self-esteem on the effect of resilience on perceived stress and life satisfaction in SUD patients.Design: A total of 415 patients diagnosed with Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders—fifth edition SUD from the south of China joined the research.Outcome Measures: The study applied Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale, Positive and Negative Affect Scale, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and Satisfaction with Life Scale to measure patients' resilience, positive affect, self-esteem, perceived social support, perceived stress, and life satisfaction.Results: Structural equation model analysis revealed that positive affect and self-esteem partially mediate the relationship between resilience and perceived stress. In contrast, positive affect and perceived social support partially mediate the relationship between resilience and life satisfaction.Conclusion: The findings provide insights for evidence-based substance abuse intervention that positive affect, self-esteem, and perceived social support can conditional the effects of resilience on promoting the mental health of SUD patients.

“…Several studies support the use of Interaction terms modeled in separate regression models, with all variables in Step 1 included in the model. different methods of gratitude, happiness, and support development [7,[13][14][15][16][17]. The present data offer hope that through the enhancement of these aspects of psychological and social experience, resilience might be fostered.…”

We sought to examine several positive and negative correlates of resilience (i.e., affect, gratitude, perceived stress, subjective happiness, mastery, and emotional reactivity) in a community sample of adolescents and adults and to determine whether these correlates of resilience differed between the groups. Seventy-nine community residents of an Upper Midwest community (48 adolescents aged 12-18 years and 31 adults aged 34-84 years) completed 8 validated self-report questionnaires, totaling 96 items, over an 8-week period. Bivariate analyses showed several moderate to large associations of the variables with resilience and several appeared to show differences in the magnitude of the associations by age group. Hierarchical regression models examining all psychosocial predictors of resilience showed that only positive affect and negative affect predicted unique variance in resilience. In addition, evaluation of hierarchical models showed evidence of interaction between age and positive affect, gratitude, and subjective happiness in predicting resilience. Associations between gratitude, positive affect, and happiness with resilience were consistently stronger for adults as compared to adolescents. These data provide preliminary evidence on potential differences to consider regarding psychosocial correlates of resilience in adolescents and adults and have implications for intervention and resilience promotion.
