“…In addition, participants in the training condition reported increased marital satisfaction. The effects of such experimental studies (for reviews, see Joyce et al, 2018;Leppin et al, 2014;Waugh & Koster, 2015) are in line with our findings, suggesting a key role for resilience in maintaining psychological well-being, as shown by the observed inhibitory pathways from resilience to depressive symptomatology, cognitive complaints, and repetitive negative thinking, in addition to reciprocal reinforcing effects of positive appraisal.…”

Research exploring how cognitive risk-and protective factors relate following remission from internalizing disorders suggests a central role for resilience. However, it remains unclear what constitutes resilience in this context. Furthermore, previous studies have typically relied on crosssectional data which do not allow to map the temporal dynamics of such relations. Using a seven-day experience sampling period in 85 remitted depressed patients, we examined the interplay between five transdiagnostic vulnerability-and protective factors in daily life. We present a temporal, contemporaneous, and a between-subjects network, providing an in-depth analysis of how these factors relate to daily life fluctuations in residual symptomatology. Furthermore, we test the role of positive affect as a main resilience factor. Resilience uniquely predicted all other factors over time (temporal network). Higher levels of resilience were related to less momentary use of rumination, more deployment of positive appraisal, and lower occurrence of residual symptoms (contemporaneous network). Participants scoring high on resilience mostly engaged in positive appraisal (between-subjects network). Similar structures were obtained when substituting self-reported resilience by positive affect. This highlights the importance of resilience, and in particular, positive affectivity, to cope with stressors following remission. This may be fostered by facilitating the use of positive appraisal.

“…People should be encouraged to read books and articles related to the importance of resilience and resilience building. Also, there are different resilience training programs including programs for people in stress‐related professions . In these programs, the instructors usually present each resilience skill via lectures, group discussions, demonstrations of the skill, videos, and ‘questions and answers’ sessions.…”

Resilience as a focus of suicide research and prevention Sher L. Resilience as a focus of suicide research and prevention.Suicide is a major medical and social problem. Decades of suicide research have mostly focused on risk factors for suicidal behaviour while overlooking protective factors such as resilience that may help to address this important public health issue. Resilience is the capacity and dynamic process of adaptively overcoming stress and adversity while maintaining normal psychological and physical functioning. Studies conducted over the past 10-15 years suggest that resilience is a protective factor against suicide risk. Resilience is becoming a focus of suicide research and prevention. Building resilience should be a part of universal, selective, and indicated suicide prevention interventions. Promoting resilience may reduce suicide risk in the general population, in groups at elevated suicide risk, and among high-risk individuals. Building resilience in the general population may reduce the incidence of stress-related disorders and, consequently, suicidal behaviour. Improving resilience should be a part of a treatment plan of every psychiatric patient. Mental health professionals will probably have the best success in reducing suicide risk in psychiatric patients if they actively concentrate on increasing stress resilience using both psychosocial and pharmacological interventions. It is critically important to move forward the development of pharmacological and psychological interventions for enhancing resilience.• Mental health professionals should educate the general public regarding issues related to resilience and stress-coping. Promoting resilience in the general population may reduce suicide rates.• Improving resilience may reduce suicide risk among psychiatric patients. Resilience enhancement should be a part of a treatment plan of every psychiatric patient.• Mental health professionals will probably have the best success in reducing suicide risk in psychiatric patients if they actively concentrate on increasing stress resilience using both psychosocial and pharmacological interventions. Limitations• Building resilience is more difficult for some people than for others because some psychobiological factors affecting resilience are not modifiable.• Improving resilience in some cases is difficult because some individuals are very sick and impaired. • Many people around the world who are at elevated suicide risk have a limited or no access to mental health care and to information on resilience and stress-coping.

“…Studies identified resilience as a set of personal characteristics that include hardiness, self-efficacy, self-esteem, optimism, faith, and humor (Grafton, Gillespie, & Henderson, 2010). A meta-analytic study that included 60 studies showed that (trait) resilience is positively correlated to positive indicators of mental health (Hu, Zhang, & Wang, 2015) and numerous studies have shown that resiliency programs can increase mental well-being (Arnetz, Nevedal, Lumley, Backman, & Lublin, 2009;Burton, Pakenham, & Brown, 2010;McCraty & Atkinson, 2012;Joyce et al, 2018). It should be noted that most of these resiliency programs are based on cognitive behavioral principles.…”

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of a culturally adapted multi-component positive psychology intervention (MPPI) on resilience. We conducted a randomized controlled trial among 158 employees of multi-ethnic origin in Paramaribo, Suriname. The participants were assigned to a 6-session intervention program or a wait-list control group. Data were collected at baseline, post-intervention, and at 3-months follow-up. Strict guidelines were followed to minimize risk of bias and to assure a high methodological quality. Analysis of covariance revealed large significant improvements on resilience, mental well-being, and negative affect, moderate improvements on depression and positive affect, and small improvements on anxiety compared to control. The intervention was not more beneficial on stress, financial distress, and psychological flexibility than control. In conclusion, a culturally adapted MPPI may be a promising intervention to increase resilience and well-being among healthy adults with a multi-ethnic background in the Caribbean.
