Episode 16: Do researchers know what resilience is?

In this episode, we see if the way researchers define and measure resilience actually lines up with the real world. If you want a look at what actually happens in psychological research and what psychologists are thinking, this is the place for you!

Are there people you find resilient? Perhaps fictional characters like Disney’s Mulan or Tolkien’s Gandalf. Maybe real life public figures like Simone Biles, Serena Williams, or Malala Yousafzai. Maybe people you personally know like your parents or even yourself (especially having gone through a pandemic that is nearing its 2-year anniversary). Do these people match the definitions that researchers use?
