Great! Thanks for responding.
When talking about becoming more resilient (e.g., more protective factors, fewer risk factors), the most appropriate baseline is oneself. Because resilience is multi-dimensional based on many factors and individual experiences, some good and some bad (but different for everyone). it’s difficult – if not impossible – to compare the resilience between individuals. Resilience should not be viewed as a ranking system or a reason to judge ourselves against others – we are all on our own journey of personal Growth!

Question 1 of 8
1. Question
Although scientific studies can give us insight into individuals and how they interact with their environment, science tends to put people into groups or “boxes” to study their behaviour. When we do this, people’s unique experiences aren’t always captured.
When thinking about personal growth (e.g., learning from experiences to improve), do you think individual stories are important too? Why or why not?

Question 8 of 8
8. Question
Many factors can influence our resilience, most of them based on our unique experiences and life situations. Protective factors can make us more resilient, and risk factors can impact our resilience negatively.
Although growth is possible for everyone (i.e., everyone can become more resilient with deliberate goal-setting and practice), do you think resilience can be accurately measured and compared between individuals? Why or why not?
