A Conceptual Reflection JF - Revista Interamericana de Psicología/Interamerican Journal of Psychology JA - RIP/IJP VL - 37 IS - 2 SE - Articles DO - 10.30849/rip/ijp.v37i2.831 UR - https://journal.sipsych.org/index.php/IJP/article/view/831 SP - AB - <p>After critically reviewing the historical development of the concept of resilience in psychology and psychiatry, we propose not to consider resilience as a psychological variable in itself. Rather, we suggest that all persons who present an unexpected outcome in face of a given adverse situation should be considered resilient, regardless of the causes of that outcome. We further propose a distinction among protective factors, recovery factors, and behavioral control factors. Finally, implications of these ideas for research are discussed.</p> ER -
