Mental health can affect daily life, relationships, and even physical health. Mental health also includes a person’s ability to enjoy life—to attain a balance between life activities and efforts to achieve psychological resilience.1
Resilience and burnout
Published in Anna-leila Williams, Integrating Health Humanities, Social Science, and Clinical Care, 2018
For the purpose of this discussion, I refer to the definition of psychological resilience used in The Sage Encyclopedia of Industrial and Organizational Psychology, Psychological resilience is a person’s capacity to maintain a relatively stable equilibrium in the face of adversity. It is the ability of a person to go through difficulties across a continuum of severity . . . and experience relatively minimal abnormal psychological functioning.(Baran, 2017, p. 1282)
Hope, meaning and resilience
Published in Celia Hindmarch, On the Death of a Child, 2018
The reader is referred back to Chapter 2, p 39, where the concept of positive psychology is explained. It is concerned with the positive human qualities that underpin optimum functioning. Greater understanding has emerged of psychological resilience, and how it is that some people can incorporate life’s adversities and adapt to them successfully. Such people are able to resist the kind of helplessness which comes from believing that bad things always happen to them and blame themselves when they do. There will be individual and social circumstances that affect this ability to resist helplessness. Machin (2007) identifies three common elements that characterise resilience:personal resourcefulness – involving qualities of flexibility, courage and perseverancea positive life perspective – which includes optimism, hope, a capacity to make sense of experience and motivation in setting goalssocial embeddedness – in which support is available and there is the personal capacity to access it.

Psychological resilience is defined as people’s ability to effectively cope with difficulty and adapt to loss or adversity (Tugade & Fredrickson, 2004). Studies have found that psychological resilience is significantly correlated with psychological stress and anxiety (Anyan & Hjemdal, 2016; Youssef et al., 2017). Compared with people who have low psychological resilience, those with high psychological resilience have rich psychological resources and good mental health. Therefore, these individuals are less likely to have mental health problems and behavioral disorders (Arslan, 2016; Rew et al., 2001). When negative life events cause mental health problems, such as depression or anxiety, people with high psychological resilience can cope with these problems more effectively and maintain their mental health (Peng et al., 2012). Therefore, we believe that high psychological resilience can effectively regulate the relationship between anxiety and regulatory emotional self-efficacy, in other words, it can reduce the impact of anxiety on regulatory emotional self-efficacy. Therefore, hypothesis 3 is proposed in this study as follows: psychological resilience moderates the relationship between anxiety and regulatory emotional self-efficacy. Psychological resilience can alleviate the negative effect of anxiety on regulatory emotional self-efficacy.

Protective psychological factors reflect internal characteristics that help promote adjustment and adaptation (Peterson & Seligman, 2004). One such factor that may buffer against severe suicidal ideation is an individual’s level of psychological resilience. Here, psychological resilience refers to one’s ability to adapt and cope well with stress and adversity (Liu et al., 2017). Research has shown that increased belief in one’s ability to adapt and cope well is associated with decreased thoughts of suicide among civilians (Cheung et al., 2019), as well as veterans (Pietrzak et al., 2011). A second psychological protective factor is altruism, which refers to being compassionate and engaging in good deeds for others despite a lack of personal gain (Peterson & Seligman, 2004). Altruistic behaviors allow individuals to enhance their personal sense of meaning and have been tied across civilian and military populations to greater wellbeing, mental health, and longevity, as well as resilience (Isaacs et al., 2017; Post, 2005). Collectively, those who perceive themselves as able to cope in the aftermath of trauma and engage in help-giving may experience decreased suicidal ideation.
Covid-19 fear, happiness and stress in adults: the mediating role of psychological resilience and coping with stress
Published in International Journal of Psychiatry in Clinical Practice, 2022
Recent studies reveal that fear of COVID-19 has significant effects on mental health (Ahorsu et al. 2020; Li et al. 2020). Individuals who are afraid of COVID-19 may experience mental problems, such as depression, stress and anxiety (Shigemura et al. 2020; Yildirim et al. 2020). Psychological resilience can be an important factor in maintaining mental health (Hu, Zhang and Wang 2015; McDonnell and Semkovska 2020). Yildirim (2019) found that psychological resilience is related to life satisfaction and positive affect. It is stated that psychological resilience positively predicts happiness (Choi and Kim 2018; Yildirim and Belen 2019), while psychological resilience can be an important spiritual resource, as it reduces the worst effects of stress (Ong et al. 2006). Tecson et al. (2019), meanwhile, found that psychological resilience is a strong predictor of stress.
