“…Sense of relatedness is conceptualized as a sense of trust and perceived access to support, as well as comfort and tolerance with others (Prince-Embury et al, 2017). Hence, the construct is proposed to be a major underlying mechanism in the formation and maintenance of relationships as the basis of developing a support system (Prince-Embury, 2006, 2013. Overall, individuals with high sense of relatedness may be more socially adept and have a stronger social network that could promote a healthier approach to search for meaning.…”

Resiliency, Meaning in Life, and Life Satisfaction: An Examination of Moderating Effects

et al. 2018

While presence of meaning in life (i.e., presence) is associated with a plethora of desirable qualities (e.g., greater well-being, longevity, positive affect), search for meaning is associated with psychological distress (e.g., reports of conflict, rumination, depression; Boyle, Barnes, Buchman, & Bennett, 2009). Individuals with higher resiliency, defined as a multifaceted competency in adapting and recovering from adversity, could potentially mitigate the distress associated with search, and thus, achieve greater satisfaction with life (SWL). The present study examined the moderating role of meaning in life between resiliency (i.e., sense of mastery and sense of relatedness) and SWL in a sample of Canadian university students (N=289). Hierarchical regression analyses showed that there was a positive association between resiliency and SWL and this association was stronger at higher levels compared to lower levels of search for meaning. These results suggest that individuals searching for meaning with high levels of mastery have the greatest SWL, while their counterparts with low mastery have the lowest SWL. Similar moderating effects of search were found with the positive association between sense of relatedness and SWL. Overall, findings suggest that protective factors in resiliency may buffer against the potential negative impact of search.

“…Furthermore, the position of relationships and relational ability as mediators of resilience has been supported in developmental psychopathology research (e.g., Werner & Smith, 1982). Prince-Embury's (2006, 2013 conceptualization of relatedness includes a sense of trust, perceived access to support, and comfort with and tolerance of others. Hence, Sense of Relatedness represents a second protective factor of personal resiliency.…”

“…This work is considered as a step in the authors' longer-term project of translating the constructs of personal resiliency for application across the life span and builds on earlier work by the authors (Prince-Embury, 2006, 2008a, 2008b, 2012, 2013Prince-Embury & Courville, 2008a, 2008b. We will first address general definitions of resilience and then the threefactor model underlying the RSYA.…”

The Resiliency Scale for Young Adults (RSYA) is presented as an upward extension of the Resiliency Scales for Children and Adolescents (RSCA). The RSYA is based on the three-factor model of personal resiliency including mastery, relatedness, and emotional reactivity. Several stages of scale development and studies leading to the current RSYA are described that provide construct validity (i.e., internal consistency, confirmatory factor analyses, and convergent-divergent validity) support for the three-factor structure and 10 subscales of this measure for young adults who are attending college. This work is a step in a longer-term project of translating the constructs of personal resiliency for application across the life span.

“…Based on developmental theory and research, Prince-Embury (2006, 2007, 2013, 2014) developed the Three-Factor model of Personal Resiliency . This model reflects aspects of an individual’s personal experience that are related to core developmental systems – Sense of Mastery, Sense of Relatedness, and Emotional Reactivity – and the relationship of these to one another.…”

A Multilevel Investigation of Resiliency Scales for Children and Adolescents: The Relationships Between Self-Perceived Emotion Regulation, Vagally Mediated Heart Rate Variability, and Personal Factors Associated With Resilience

Personal resiliency refers to individual attributes that are related to the process of successfully adapting to the environment in the face of adverse conditions, also known as resilience. Emotion regulation is increasingly found as a core component in mental health and found to modulate individual differences in the management of emotional responses. The Resiliency Scales for Children and Adolescents (RSCA; Prince-Embury, 2006, 2007) were designed to systematically identify and quantify core personal qualities of resiliency in youth, and includes Sense of Mastery scale (MAS), Sense of Relatedness scale (REL), and Emotional Reactivity (REA) scale. The following study was first conducted to confirm the Three-Factor model of Personal Resiliency in a Norwegian student sample using factor analytic procedures. Secondly and the main purpose of the study, was to investigate if personal resiliency is associated with self-reported measures related to emotion regulation, and with resting vagally mediated heart rate variability (vmHRV) as a psychophysiological index of emotion regulation capacity. A revised scale adapted to the Norwegian sample was developed. Results indicate that protective indices related to personal resiliency are associated with both self-reported adaptive emotion regulation and outcome, and partly related to high capacity for emotion regulation indicated by vmHRV. Risk related to personal vulnerability was associated with maladaptive emotion regulation and outcome, but was not associated with emotion regulation capacity. Together the findings provide supporting evidence of both self-reported and psychophysiological correlates between emotion regulatory processes and personal resiliency indicated by RSCA.
