Chapter Four - Understanding Resilience: From Negative Life Events to Everyday Stressors

Resilience is often conceptualized as a successful adaptation to serious negative life events. However, even relatively stressful stress factors need to be addressed. Therefore, we believe that flexibility should reflect the general pressure factor. To support the argument that resilience is related to social psychology and social psychology can inform us about resilience, we first stress life exposure stress and resilience to everyday stress factors Discuss the research plan to be tied. Next, we evaluate the resilience of elasticity and examine the psychophysiological approach - the biological psychosocial model of the challenge / threat to tie this approach to the research on resource response. Finally, we emphasize two core areas of research in social psychology - relationships of romantic relationship and shame and prejudice, and the elasticity is highly correlated. This shows the potential of experimental social psychology to provide information on the application of the concept of elasticity to a series of stressors and information on underestimation of resilience.

Psychological resilience is the ability of an individual to withstand stress without showing mental dysfunction such as mental illness or persistent negative emotions. This is the mainstream idea of ​​resilience. In other words, resilience is defined by the ability to circumvent psychopathology in difficult situations. The core process for building resilience is to develop and develop adaptive coping skills. The basic flow model of stress and coping (called the transaction model) is a function of stress (ie, a cause of potential stress) and cognitive evaluation (whether the cause of stress is easily handled or causes of stress ) Respond to beyond resources). If the pressure source is considered dangerous, trigger the reaction.
