Resilience is known to be the process and outcome of successfully adapting to difficult or challenging life experiences. Promoting resilience is helpful to minimizing the detrimental impact of life stressors which may be unavoidable at times. While interventions aiming to enhance resilience are increasing among different age groups, there remains gaps in our understanding of how and when resilience manifest, as well as the role of negative and positive emotions in this process. This project aims to use intergenerational data from ALSPAC to investigate predictors of the trajectories of resilient behavior, and connections between maternal resilience and offspring resilience from the prenatal stages through childhood years. This includes identifying time and environmental predictors that can be useful in designing future interventions to assist individuals who are at risk in coping with stress and difficult situations.
