Family Process Influences On The Resilient Responses Of Youth, Monika Ingeborg Baege

Graduate College Dissertations and Theses

The concept of resiliency, or how young people thrive in the face of adversity, brings a positive focus to youth development research and has emerged as an important topic in the youth development field. Adversity, or risk factors, may be internally or externally generated, and may acute or chronic. Researchers often point to the balance of between risk factors and protective factors as the determining influences on a child's resiliency.
