Psychological resilience refers to the ability to maintain mental health or recover quickly after stress. Despite the popularity of resilience research, there is no consensus understanding or operationalization of resilience.
We plan to compare three indicators of resilience that each involve a different operationalization of the construct: a) General resilience or one's self-reported general ability to overcome adversities; b) Daily resilience as momentarily experienced ability to overcome adversities; and c) Recovery speed evident in the pattern of negative affect recovery after small adversities in daily life. These three indicators are constructed per person to investigate their cross-sectional associations, stability over time, and predictive validity regarding mental health.
Data will be derived from the prospective MIRORR study that comprises 96 individuals at different levels of psychosis risk and contains both single-time assessed questionnaires and 90-days intensive longitudinal data collection at baseline (T0) and three yearly follow-up waves (T1-T3). General resilience is assessed using the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) at baseline. Daily resilience is measured by averaging daily resilience scores across 90 days. For recovery speed, vector-autoregressive models with consecutive impulse response simulations will be applied to diary data on negative affect and daily stressors to calculate pattern of affect recovery. These indicators will be correlated concurrently (at T0) to assess their overlap and prospectively (between T0 and T1) to estimate their stability. Their predictive potential will be assessed by regression analysis with mental health (SCL-90) as an outcome, resilience indicators as predictors, and stressful life events as a moderator.
The comparison of different conceptualizations of psychological resilience can increase our understanding of its multifaceted nature and, in future, help improve diagnostic, prevention and intervention strategies aimed at increasing psychological resilience.
心理弹性是指在压力下保持心理健康或快速恢复的能力。尽管韧性研究很流行，但对于韧性的理解和操作化尚无共识。
我们计划比较三种韧性指标，每种指标都涉及对该结构的不同操作化：a）一般韧性或个体自我报告的克服逆境的一般能力；b）日常韧性，即个体当下克服逆境的能力；c）在日常生活中小逆境后负面情绪恢复模式中表现出的恢复速度。这三个指标是针对每个人构建的，以研究它们的横断面关联、随时间的稳定性以及对心理健康的预测有效性。
数据将来自前瞻性 MIRORR 研究，该研究包括不同精神病风险水平的 96 名个体，包含单次评估的问卷和基线（T0）和三次每年随访波（T1-T3）的 90 天密集纵向数据收集。基线时使用简短韧性量表（BRS）评估一般韧性。日常韧性通过在 90 天内平均每日韧性得分来衡量。对于恢复速度，将应用向量自回归模型与连续脉冲响应模拟，对负面情绪和每日压力源的日记数据进行计算，以计算情绪恢复模式。这些指标将同时进行相关性分析（在 T0 时），以评估它们的重叠，以及前瞻性分析（在 T0 和 T1 之间），以估计它们的稳定性。通过以心理健康（SCL-90）为结果、韧性指标为预测因子、生活压力事件为调节因子的回归分析来评估其预测潜力。
比较心理弹性的不同概念化可以提高我们对其多面性的理解，并且在未来有助于改善旨在增加心理弹性的诊断、预防和干预策略。
