Dear all,
I've spoken a little on here before about the problems with the concept of resilience, and our understanding of it. I am interested in developing a study, or series of studies, in order to identify what precisely resilience is, and ideally to develop a properly designed and validated scale to measure it.
I am interested in perspectives from any field, and am ideally looking for partners to develop this grant with me such that we can develop the most well-rounded perspective possible of this psychological phenomenon.
Please do let me know if you have any opinions on perspectives that should be included in this process (or you believe it unnecessary), if you know of any places likely to fund such a grant, or if you would like to be involved.
Best wishes,
Jennifer
From your question, it was not really clear to me whether or not you already conducted studies on resilience or if it's totally new to you. If the latter, then this might be helpful:
There's a yearly conference on resilience; it takes place in Germany and hosted by the Deutsches Resilienz Zentrum (DRZ). Even though you missed the 2019 meeting, the list of speakers and talks might be useful for getting to know the people and some topics in this field:

It would be ideal to train children in techniques to develop resilience, even if they experience traumatic events at home. Some schools that incorporate the QuietTime program, or Consciousness-based education which use the Transcendental Meditation technique would be an ideal place to test out resilience scales, for the intervention is easily learnt, easy to practice, natural and effortless, and taught in a standardised way throughout the world.
