The present study was conducted in the context of current concerns about replication in psychological research. It claims that risk factors should be regarded as an integral part of the definition of individual resilience, which should be defined in terms of the balance between individual strength or protective factors, and individual vulnerability or risk factors (IND-SVR). Five independent samples, including 3457 Israeli participants, were employed to determine the effects of resilience promoting and resilience suppressing variables on the IND-SVR index of resilience, and on its two components: recovery from adversity, and distress symptoms. Five path analyses were employed for determining the role of distress symptoms as a measure of psychological resilience, as compared to other indices of this resilience. Results indicated the major role of risk factors (distress symptoms) as an integral component of resilience. This role was generally replicated in the five investigated samples. Risk factors are legitimate, valid, and useful parts of the definition of psychological resilience. Resilience research has shifted away from studying individual risk factors to investigating the process through which individuals overcome the hardships they experience. The present data seem to suggest that this shift should be reexamined.
本研究是在当前心理学研究中对重复性问题的关注背景下进行的。它声称，风险因素应被视为个体复原力定义的一个组成部分，个体复原力应以个体优势或保护因素与个体脆弱性或风险因素（IND-SVR）之间的平衡来定义。研究采用了包括3457名以色列参与者在内的五个独立样本，以确定促进复原力和抑制复原力的变量对IND-SVR复原力指数及其两个组成部分的影响：从逆境中恢复以及痛苦症状。与该复原力的其他指标相比，采用了五项路径分析来确定痛苦症状作为心理复原力衡量指标的作用。结果表明风险因素（痛苦症状）作为复原力的一个组成部分具有主要作用。这一作用在五个被调查样本中普遍得到了重复验证。风险因素是心理复原力定义中合理、有效且有用的部分。复原力研究已从研究个体风险因素转向调查个体克服其所经历困难的过程。目前的数据似乎表明这种转变应该重新审视。
