Abstract

Background: Resilience is an essential psychological trait that helps individuals adapt to distressing periods of stress. Its meaning has been conceptualized in different forms because of which resilience has overlapping meanings across different disciplines.

Objective: This review attempts to shed light on understanding the effectiveness of resilience through the wide empirical evidences across neuropsychology, applied psychology, and social psychology. Some of the diverse methodologies for measuring resilience include EEG and fMRI, inventories, questionnaires, narratives, and interviews across the three sub-domains of psychology. Through this review, attention of experts in different fields and readers is brought upon to utilise the power of resilience in resolving different societal issues.

Method: These evidences were obtained from google scholar and published by researchers across the world. Keywords like “Resilience and Neuropsychology”; “Applied psychology research in Resilience”; “Social Psychology and Resilience” were entered for this research.

Results: Review of diverse studies in psychology on resilience showed that brain parts like amygdala, insula, and left and right hemispheres, adequate cognitive performance, mental health functioning, self-efficacy, practicing mindfulness, and accessing support groups were some of the factors strongly associated with resilience across diverse populations.

Keywords: Resilience; Applied Psychology; Social Psychology; Neuropsychology; Society; Empirical Research
