Resilience: A Meta‐Analytic Approach

Abstract

This study investigated the relationship between psychological resilience and its relevant variables by using a meta‐analytic method. The results indicated that the largest effect on resilience was found to stem from the protective factors, a medium effect from risk factors, and the smallest effect from demographic factors.

Correlates of Academic Resilience among Secondary School Students in Kiambu County, Kenya

“…Although the study was done within a Kenyan context, the findings are generally in agreement with previous studies in mainly Western contexts that emphasize the role of personal attributes in enhancing students' academic resilience processes (Foster, 2013;Lee et al, 2013).

Examining the Impact of Resilience on Work Stress and Strains in Nurses

“…Given that nurse job satisfaction is a combination of elements such as the organization and individual attitudes, increasing job satisfaction should be a focus for nurses, teams, and nurse managers. Intra-personal factors related to job satisfaction such as positive and negative affectivity (Hayes et al, 2010) suggest that resilience may be a valuable trait for nurses to have, as resilience also related to positive and negative affectivity (Lee et al, 2013).…”
