The purpose of this study is to integrate and differentiate resiliency research, to identify conceptual and methodological issues that may help guide research, and to illustrate how emotion regulation may promote resiliency.
The term resiliency generally refer to those factors and process that interrupt the trajectory from risk to problem behaviors or psychopathology and thereby result in adaptive outcomes even in the presence of adversity. Resiliency mechanisms may be divided into three: the compensatory model, the challenge model, and the protective factor, or immunity-versus-vulnerability model.
