Compensatory Model Of Resilience

Most of us consider resilience as the capability to bend but not crack, skip back, and perhaps even cultivate in front of opposed life experiences. The American Psychological Association (2014) explains resilience as “the process of adapting well in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats or even significant sources of stress “(para. 4; cited in Southwick, Bonanno, Masten, Panter-Brick, & Yehuda, 2014). Resiliency Theory supplies a conceptual framework for taking into account a strengths-based access to comprehending child and adolescent progression and informing interference design (Fergus & Zimmerman, 2005). Resiliency theory provides the conceptual scaffolding for learning and comprehending why some person grow up to become healthy matures despite risks disclosure (Garmezy, 1991; Masten, et al., 2007; Rutter, 1987; Werner & Smith, 1982; cited in Zimmerman, 2005a).
They include compensatory, protective, and challenge models of resiliency. The compensatory model views resilience as a factor that counteracts disclosures to risk. Risk factors and compensatory factors freely contribute to the prediction result. The challenge model proposes that a risk factor, on the condition that it is not too excessive, can actually improve a person’s adaptation (Ledesma, 2014). In the protective factor model, there is an interaction between defense and risk factors, which decreases the likelihood of a negative result and softens the effect of disclosure to risk (O’Leary, 1998; cited in Ledesma,
