The Resilience Paradox
The resilience paradox refers to the phenomenon that while researchers can identify factors that correlate with resilience, they are not able to accurately predict resilience based on these factors. Although there are numerous traits and behaviors that seem to correlate with resilience, individually they have small effects on predicting resilience outcomes. Resilience is like a pie, with each trait or factor being a small slice that moves the needle only slightly towards resilience. This paradox highlights the complexity of resilience and the limitations of our ability to predict it.
