Resilience in Development

ORGANIZERS

Lynne Baker-Ward (Developmental Psychology, NC State)
Natasha Bowen (Social Work, UNC-CH)
Ken Dodge (PPS-Duke University)
Mary Haskett (School Psychology, NC State)
Ann Schulte (School Psychology, NC State)

Brief Overview: Discerning the processes by which children develop and function in adaptive or competent ways despite extreme stress, disadvantage, or adversity offers considerable promise for elucidating developmental theory, as well as for guiding prevention, intervention, and policy initiatives. The traits which contribute to resilience and the mechanisms that facilitate its operation will be explored, as will the potential clinical applications of that knowledge. Based on a view of resilience as a transactional process that occurs in the context of an organizational framework, the goal of the planning committee is to incorporate discussions of genetic, biological, psychological, and sociological factors as they relate to resilience among children and adolescents.
