Abstract

We investigated resilience dynamics across adulthood in a 3-year longitudinal study of 738 participants (Mage = 29.4). Resilience was operationalized as lower stressor reactivity, quantified via residualization. Results revealed stable and dynamic associations between psychosocial factors and resilience, with linked within-subject changes, providing novel evidence for general adaptive resilience processes.
