Research has documented a link between political violence and the functioning of individuals and communities. Yet, despite the hardships that political violence creates, evidence suggests remarkable fortitude and resilience within both individuals and communities. Individual characteristics that appear to build resilience against political violence include demographic factors such as gender and age, and internal resources, such as hope, optimism, determination, and religious convictions. Research has also documented the protective influence of individuals' connection to community and their involvement in work, school, or political action. Additionally, research on political violence and resilience has increasingly focused on communities themselves as a unit of analysis. Community resilience, like individual resilience, is a process supported by various traits, capacities, and emotional orientations toward hardship. This review addresses various findings related to both individual and community resilience within political violence and offers recommendations for research, practice, and policy.
研究已经记录了政治暴力与个人和社区功能之间的联系。然而，尽管政治暴力带来了种种困难，但有证据表明，个人和社区都表现出了非凡的坚韧和适应力。似乎能够抵御政治暴力的个人特征包括性别和年龄等人口因素，以及希望、乐观、决心和宗教信仰等内在资源。研究还记录了个人与社区的联系以及他们参与工作、学校或政治行动对其产生的保护影响。此外，关于政治暴力和适应力的研究越来越关注社区本身作为一个分析单位。社区适应力与个人适应力一样，是一个由各种特征、能力和对困难的情感取向支持的过程。这篇综述讨论了与政治暴力中的个人和社区适应力相关的各种发现，并为研究、实践和政策提供了建议。
