Sažetak
Although resilience is a concept that has been explored for the last forty years, with particular intensity in the last decade, there are number of ambiguities and inconsistencies regarding what specifically this term implies. The starting point of clarification, and area of overlapping and agreement in understanding of this concept among the researches refers to two aspects that are part of most definition of resilience: (1) identified risk or challenge that an individual faces, (2) measures of positive outcome (Luthar, Cicchetti, Becker, 2000). Ambiguities are numerous, and relate to the conceptualising resilience as a personality trait, dynamic process, or an outcome, defining constructs that constitute it (such as the challenges/risks, stress, risk and protective factors, good outcome etc.), measuring those constructs, taking into account social and cultural context in which resilience is studied, values of researcher and multidimensionality of this concept. These uncertainties have led to usage of inconsistent set of variables in the research, which opens an area for criticism of the feasibility in studying resilience. One argument supporting the thesis that it is a unique construct worth exploring is that specific differences in access and measurement of any scientific construct are good in order to expand it’s understanding (Luthar, 1996). Accordingly, review of the young but rich literature (Cicchetti and Garmezy, 1993, Luthar and Ziegler, 1991, Masten at all., 1990, Maten and Coatshworth, 1995, 1998 ; Rutter, 1990, Werner, 1990, 1995) indicates synchronized results regarding correlates of resilience, such as effective school, good relationship with competent, prosocial adult in community etc. In addition to those promising results, researches in this field emphasize the necessity of mutual effort and negotiation in order to reach consensus on key terms within the concept of resilience and thereby maintain/improve it’s vitality and influence (Rolf and Johnson, 1990, Rutter, 1990). Accordingly, this presentation and symposium are going to open and discuss mentioned questions.
