This review identifies resilience resources used by religious LGBTQ + people in the United States using Dunkel-Schetter and Dolbier’s Resilience Taxonomy. Studies were included if they (1) sampled exclusively LGBTQ + people, all or a disaggregated subsection of whom identified either being religious and/or voluntarily participating in religious practice, and (2) included discussion of resilience among these participants. Results from 22 studies found resources for supporting resilience among LGBTQ + religious Americans, including the process of identity integration, personal cognitive or dispositional skills, social supports from family and faith communities, and cultural and structural impacts. Future research is required to assess how these resources may be integrated into interventions for LGBTQ + health by organizations uniquely situated within communities to do so, and this research may benefit from taking a broad taxonomic approach to understanding resilience within socioecological context.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72113,"journal":{"name":"Adversity and resilience science","volume":"6 4","pages":"301 - 329"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s42844-025-00166-3.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145610679","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study used a mixed-method design that combined quantitative and qualitative approaches. Quantitative data were collected using a single-group pre-test–post-test–follow-up design, analyzed with the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and assessed using the Brief Psychological Resilience Scale. Qualitative data were gathered via Google Forms and analyzed phenomenologically to explore the participants’ experiences. The results showed that the psychoeducation program had positive effects on participants’ psychological resilience, and that this effect continued with the follow-up test results. Qualitative analysis identified two main themes: self-help and self-compassion and emotional management and balance. Participants reported enhanced self-help skills, increased self-compassion, and improved emotional regulation. Overall, these findings reveal that the proposed program is effective in enhancing young adults’ psychological resilience and in developing their self-help skills.

Personal resources such as recovery experiences can help individuals demonstrate resilience to such adversity. Yet, it remains unknown whether different approaches to daily work recovery contribute to different resilience outcome dimensions. The current study investigated whether psychological detachment, relaxation, mastery, and control recovery experiences were differentially associated with resilience. We assessed resilience across the burnout dimensions of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment using a residual approach. Participants were 289 local government professionals who completed self-report measures of recovery experiences, workplace incivility, and burnout. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed distinct patterns of associations. For emotional exhaustion resilience, psychological detachment and relaxation recovery opportunities were significant predictors. In contrast, none of the recovery experiences were associated with depersonalization resilience. For personal accomplishment resilience, only the mastery recovery opportunities emerged as a significant predictor. For comparison, psychological detachment and mastery experiences predicted higher scores on a conventional unidimensional trait resilience measure. These findings underscore the value of conceptualizing resilience as a multidimensional construct, as different recovery experiences appear to contribute to resilience in specific outcome domains. The results suggest that tailoring resilience-building strategies to target the unique needs and challenges faced by employees exposed to workplace incivility may be more effective than a one-size-fits-all approach. Continued research is needed to further elucidate the complex interplay between personal resources, workplace demands, and multifaceted resilient functioning.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72113,"journal":{"name":"Adversity and resilience science","volume":"6 4","pages":"431 - 445"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s42844-025-00163-6.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145610656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The CD-RISC is a brief, self-report instrument consisting of 25 items on a 5-point Likert scale which ranges from zero to four with higher scores reflecting greater resilience. A five-factor scale is used to conceptualise resilience with eight items on personal competence, high standards, and tenacity; seven items on trust in one’s instinct, tolerance of negative effects, and strengthening effects of stress; five items on positive acceptance of change and secure relationships; three items on control; and two items on spiritual influences. The CD-RISC has been used across a range of contexts and populations and has been translated into many languages. The CD-RISC has been critically evaluated as a part of wider reviews and has been critiqued within individual studies which have utilised the measure; however, there has not yet been a specific, critical evaluation of the scale which provides a comprehensive picture of the measure by drawing such research together. Given how widely the measure is used across both clinical and non-clinical populations, it is felt necessary to provide clinicians and researchers with an evaluation of the measure in terms of its reliability and validity. Such information is essential when drawing conclusions from scores on the measure. As such, this article will present and discuss the strengths and limitations of the CD-RISC with reference to its psychometric properties.

Previous studies using item response theory (IRT) approaches to evaluate the scale have not yet considered potential differences in psychometric properties related to participants’ ethnicities and cultures. Thus, this study extended prior investigations by examining possible violations of measurement invariance across participants’ demographic characteristics at the item level using the Rasch rating scale model. Although the CD-RISC-10 demonstrated adequate person separation reliability, visual inspection of individual ratings and the variable map indicates that some participants provided extreme and inconsistent responses. Moreover, the CD-RISC-10 had an apparent ceiling effect, and one item showed differential item functioning across gender groups. Altogether, the results suggest that the English CD-RISC-10 shows adequate psychometric properties within a sample of international participants in the U.S. However, continued research is needed to determine how population differences may affect performance on the instrument and to develop items capable of measuring a broader range of psychological resilience.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72113,"journal":{"name":"Adversity and resilience science","volume":"6 3","pages":"193 - 204"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145223750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
