“…The association between greater perceived friendship quality and increased resilience revealed in this study supports previous qualitative evidence that close, supportive friendships facilitate resilience processes (Everall, Altrows & Paulson, 2006;Shepherd, Reynolds & Moran, 2010). A single close, or relatively close, friendship is available to most adolescents regardless of social competence, extraversion or closeness preferences (Finkenauer & Righetti, 2011).…”

This is a novel investigation of whether, and how, a single close supportive friendship may facilitate psychological resilience in socioeconomically vulnerable British adolescents. 409 adolescents (160 male, 245 female, 4 unknown), aged between 11 and 19 years, completed self-report measures of close friendship quality, psychological resilience, social support and other resources. Findings revealed a significant positive association between perceived friendship quality and resilience. This relationship was facilitated through interrelated mechanisms of developing a constructive coping style (comprised of support-seeking and active coping), effort, a supportive friendship network, and reduced disengaged and externalising coping. While protective processes were encouragingly significantly present across genders, boys were more vulnerable to the deleterious effects of disengaged and externalising coping than girls. We suggest that individual close friendships are an important potential protective mechanism accessible to most adolescents. We discuss implications of the resulting Adolescent Friendship and Resilience Model for resilience theories and integration into practice.

“…The significant role of social support has been well documented in research. Specifically, Everall et al (2006) found that Caucasian adolescents in who had at least one significant supportive relationship with an individual (i.e., mother, caregiver, or teacher) had less suicidal ideation, compared to participants who lacked a supportive significant relationship. Similarly, found that having a close significant relationship with a parental figure, family member, or mentor was a contributing factor for adolescents who demonstrated resilience.…”

“…However, some researchers have explored resilience among different groups of adolescents. Specifically, Everall, Altrows, and Paulson (2006) qualitatively investigated resilience among a group of female Caucasian adolescents that overcame suicidal ideation. The researchers were primarily interested in understanding how these adolescents perceived overcoming suicidal ideations.…”

“…Everall, Altrows and Paulson (2006) determined that resilience research has predominantly focused on one of three operational definitions: (a) a stable personality trait or ability protecting individuals from negative effects of risk and adversity (i.e., Dumont & Provost, 1999;Werner, 1995); (b) a positive outcome, which is defined by the presence of positive mental health or absence of psychopathology, despite the exposure to risk (Masten & Powell, 2003); or (c) a dynamic process that is dependent upon interactions between individual and contextual variables, and which evolves over time. The third perception of resilience is that of a "dynamic developmental process reflecting evidence of positive adaptation despite significant life adversity" (Luthar, 2003, p. xix).…”

This study, conducted in Talca, Chile, a year and a half after a massive natural disaster, focused on creative thinking and art production as manifestations of resilience. Purposive sampling was used to recruit participants through community leaders and programs. Ten survivors whose houses were damaged or destroyed during the 2010 earthquake were willing to participate in semi-structured interviews that included verbal narratives and an art response. Systematic analysis illuminated conscious and latent psychological content. Three overarching themes were identified as central to survivors' recovery process and were then contrasted with data from New Orleans after hurricane Katrina, exploring universality and contextual factors in post disasters' creativity and resilience. Specifically, in Talca, the creation of craft for sale, instead of art making for emotional expression in New Orleans, was observed; idealism and future-oriented thinking were heightened in Talca, while humor and spirituality seemed more pronounced in New Orleans; and connections to natural surroundings in Talca were juxtaposed with New Orleans' residents' strong neighborhood affiliations and cultural festivities.Keywords: resilience, creativity, disaster, Chile, New Orleans Este estudio, desarrollado en Talca, Chile, un año y medio después de un desastre natural masivo, se centró en el pensamiento creativo y la producción artística, como manifestaciones de resiliencia. Se usó un muestreo intencional para reclutar a los participantes, a través de programas y líderes comunitarios. Diez sobrevivientes cuyas casas fueron destruidas o dañadas durante el terremoto de 2010 accedieron a participar en entrevistas semi estructuradas, las que incluyeron narrativas verbales y una respuesta artística. Un análisis sistemático iluminó los contenidos psicológicos, tanto conscientes como latentes. Tres temas principales fueron identificados como centrales en el proceso de recuperación de los sobrevivientes y fueron luego contrastados con datos obtenidos en New Orleans posterior al huracán Katrina, explorando universalidad y factores contextuales en la creatividad y resiliencia post desastre. En concreto, en Talca se observó la creación artística para la venta en lugar de la creación artística para la expresión emocional observada en New Orleans; el idealismo y pensamiento orientado en el futuro se acentuó en Talca, mientras que en New Orleans pareció pronunciarse más el humor y la espiritualidad; y las conexiones con el entorno natural en Talca se yuxtaponen con fuertes afiliaciones vecinales y festividades culturales en los residentes de New Orleans.Palabras clave: resiliencia, creatividad, desastre, Chile, New Orleans Natural disasters-earthquakes, tornados, tsunamis, wild fires-are regular occurrences in many parts of the world, yet bring unimaginable challenges and irregular experiences to the daily lives of millions who are recovering from these events. How people react and what is effective in recovering from disasters seems to vary depending on a cultur...
