We propose that the fundamental mechanism underlying resilience is the integration of
novel or negative experiences into internal schemata. This process requires a switch from …

The well-replicated observation that many people maintain mental health despite exposure
to severe psychological or physical adversity has ignited interest in the mechanisms that …

In contrast to the PASTOR model by Kalisch et al. we point to the potential negative long-
term effects of positive (re) appraisals of events for resilience. This perspective posits that …

Kalisch et al. propose a positive appraisal style as the key mechanism that underlies
resilience. The present authors suggest that flexibility in emotion processing is more …

Adding to the resilience model of Kalisch and colleagues, we suggest that resilience is

stressful circumstances positively. Apparently unbeknownst to the authors, essentially the …

Genetic, endocrinological, and psychological evidence demonstrates that resilience
commonly trades off with sensitivity. The existence of such trade-offs indicates that resilience …
