Summary

This is a research paper on human resilience in the context of disaster response and recovery, spanning four decades, has provided valuable insights. Resilience can take various forms, including stress resistance, recovery, and positive transformation. Key factors contributing to resilience in young individuals facing different challenges include attachment, agency, intelligence, behavior regulation, and social interactions.
