Hi All
I am trying to obtain journal articles on the benefits on resilience.
However, I was thinking - can the types of resilience (physical, emotional, psychological & community resilience) not be linked as benefits?
Many thanks

I found this article very helpful when I was studying resilience; I don't think it is listed in the marvellous list above:
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/11523616_The_Metatheory_of_Resilience_and_Resiliency
Richardson GE (2002) The Metatheory of Resilience and Resiliency, Journal of Clinical Psychology 58(3):307-21
DOI: 10.1002/jclp.10020
Re the above response; you may wish to see if there is anything else written of relevance for you by the author, Dr Richardson:

The concept of resilience in Psychology and Health Sciences, in effect, is taken from Physics and the Resistance of Materials (as happened at the time with stress) ... but, despite such origin, resilience -in its psychological sense, etc.- although rooted in the above, HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ITS MEANING IN PHYSICS, ETC. SINCE IT IS A SIMPLE ANALOGY, NOT A SYNONYM.
The notion of resilience in psychology refers to the set of processes that an individual has to overcome psychological trauma in order to rebuild.
Classically, we consider that resilience is built around eight stages:
- Defense-protection;
-Balance in the face of tensions;
-Commitment-challenge;
-The comeback ;
-Assessment;
-Meaning-evaluation;
-Self-positivity;
-Creation.
It all depends on the context and the nature of the resilience.
Prashanti, this is a relevant and important question to pose on resilience. Although the various types of resilience (e.g. mental, wellbeing, psychological etc) have been recognised in the extant literature on the topic, their associated benefits may be implicitly highlighted. Please see the below studies which you may find useful to explore further:

All the best.
