“…Non-acceptance of emotional responses has been linked to hyperarousal symptoms and abnormal social-emotional evaluation 58,59 , and lack of emotional clarity has been associated with impairment in emotion recognition and self-referential processing 60,61 . Our findings thus elucidate that resilient individuals can effectively maintain their mental health 4 RE, whereas individuals with low resilience exhibits more emotion regulation difficulties 62,63 and are more susceptible to various mental disorders 64,65 .…”

Sharing others' emotional states may facilitate the understanding of their well-being characteristics, such as resilience. Here, we showed that a variety of brain networks in participants who viewed emotional movies are synchronized among those with higher resilience scores. Brain activity was measured in healthy young adults while they naturally watched two movies, one with negative and one with neutral emotional valence, in the 7T MRI scanner. Inter-subject correlation and inter-subject representational similarity analyses were used to investigate the association between resilience and brain-to-brain synchrony while watching movies. The modulation effect of intolerance of uncertainty (IU), a personality trait that shapes biased perception and cognition, on the association between resilience and neural synchrony, was also explored. Resilience-driven neural synchrony was found in a wider set of brain regions including the default mode network, control network, and dorsal attentional network, in response to the negative movie compared to the neutral movie. High-resilience individuals had similar neural activities to their peers, while low-resilience individuals showed more variable neural activities. Additionally, IU modulated resilience-driven neural synchrony differently depending on the emotional stimuli. We propose that similar neural responses in resilient individuals signify their aligned adaptive emotion processing, which facilitates social understanding and connections among them. Conversely, the variability in neural responses indicates vulnerability to adverse psychological outcomes, potentially associated with maladaptive emotional responses and regulation. These findings provide insights into the mechanisms of resilience - by maintaining similar selective attention, inhibitory control, and social cognitive functioning, to ultimately foster a shared understanding of negative events.

“…Studying and targeting the factors that contribute to resilience is considered to be an effective way to assist individuals with chronic health conditions, 21 including chronic pain 22 . It has also been suggested that resilience plays a crucial role as an underlying mechanism by which childhood abuse can influence PTSD 23 . Cousins et al proposed a resilience-risk model of pediatric chronic pain which noted that various resilience factors contributed to positive adaptation and empowerment for youth with chronic pain 24 .…”

Objectives: Chronic pain and posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) co-occur in youth at high rates. Current conceptual models of mutual maintenance do not identify specific youth resilience factors, such as benefit finding in this co-occurrence. Benefit finding is the process of perceiving positive benefits as the results of experiencing adversity. It has been viewed as a potential mitigator for illness symptoms; however, only minimal cross-sectional research has been conducted and none has longitudinally examined the possible buffering effect of benefit finding in the co-occurrence of chronic pain and PTSS in youth. This longitudinal investigation examined whether benefit finding changes over time, influences pain outcomes and moderates the relationship between PTSS and chronic pain in a clinical sample of youth with chronic pain. Methods: Youth (N =105, Female = 78.1%) with chronic pain between the ages of 7–17 years (M = 13.70; SD = 2.47) participated. Participants completed measures at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months to assess pain intensity and interference, PTSS, and benefit finding. Results: Benefit finding did not significantly change over time. Cross-sectionally, benefit finding at 3 months significantly explained the variance in pain interference and intensity at 3 months. Benefit finding at 3 months did not significantly moderate the relationship between baseline PTSS and pain interference or intensity at 6 months. Discussion: These findings replicate previous research that found positive cross-sectional associations between PTSS and chronic pain, and between benefit finding and worse pain intensity and interference. Further research on resilience in pediatric chronic pain is needed.

Although previous studies have indicated that adverse childhood experiences profoundly impact children's psychological and behavioural development, comprehensive investigations into the direct and indirect mechanisms through which maltreatment affects bullying perpetration among Chinese children are lacking. This study aims to explore the effect of maltreatment on children's bullying perpetration and the potential mediating role of moral disengagement. Moreover, the gender and household registration differences in the associations are also investigated. Employing a multistage cluster sampling method, 1318 questionnaires were collected (612 males, 706 females, mean age = 15). Structural equation modelling was used to analyse the hypothesized theoretical model. The findings reveal that the experiences of maltreatment in early childhood directly influence children's bullying perpetration, with moral disengagement potentially mediating this association. Furthermore, substantial gender disparities exist in the effect of maltreatment on bullying perpetration, and notable variations based on household registration are observed in the association of maltreatment on children's moral disengagement. These findings enhance our understanding of how childhood maltreatment affects children's bullying perpetration and offer valuable insights for the development of social policy and intervention programmes targeting child maltreatment and school bullying.
