The ability of a dynamic system to effectively adjust to disturbances that threaten system function, viability, or development is described as resilience. Resilience is a dynamic process that encompasses positive adaptation within the context of considerable adversity—the ability to handle extreme stress and major hardship well.
Resilience is dynamic, and it indicates that a particular person may be resilient at times but not at others, and the impacts of one period continue throughout time. A helpful response to stress is resilience. Positive resilience, not passive endurance, might be demonstrated, for instance, if parental rejection caused a youngster to develop a closer bond with another adult.
