A Conceptual Model of Adolescents' Attachment and Resilience to Daily Stressors: Implications for COVID-19 Normalization Period and Afterwards.

Resilience is a concept that has captured intensified attention since COVID-19. Over decades, resilience research has been done across diverse domains focused on stress responses to adversity. For adolescents who are undergoing a "storm and stress" phase in transition to adulthood, everyday stresses should be managed timely and properly so that resilience is in place when needed. Within the frameworks of attachment and resilience, the author conducted this narrative review proposing a conceptual model to discuss adolescents' attachment and resilience to daily stressors during and following the pandemic. Theoretical and empirical evidence showed building relationships and regulating emotions are instrumental in nurturing adolescents' resilience. This review may have implications for the prevention and intervention of adolescents' mental health during and after COVID-19, which may aid in the transition to adulthood and later life well-being.
