The construct of resilience has been viewed as the direct counterpart of factors that may jeopardize mental health, i.e., vulnerability and psychopathology.

A random selection of 1724 participants from the normal population of Norway responded to measures of resilience (Resilience Scale for Adults), depression and anxiety (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale) and vulnerability (the Habit lndex of Negative Thinking), as well as demographics.

Dr Oddgeir Friborg

Oddgeir Friborg, PhD is a psychologist at the University of Tromso in Norway and is a leading resilience researcher. Dr. Friborg's area of expertise is within fields of resilience, protective factors/ mechanisms and health promotion, with a special focus on issues related to challenges with measuring constructs like resilience, vulnerability and stress exposure. His contribution to the project will be related to assistance in planning studies aimed at mapping relevant resilience factors, quantitative measurement and validation of methods to measure resilience, as well as statistical structural modeling. He and his colleagues are testing a Resilience Scale for Adults (RSA) to distinguish people who are emotionally hardy and bounce back from adversity from those who are more vulnerable and must struggle to regain their footing.
