It is not just a transient trait, but a holistic personality structure formed by the interaction of three main dimensions: purposefulness, which encourages a person to actively participate in life with determination and a desire to search for meaning and values, even in difficult circumstances; control, which reflects the conviction in the ability to influence the course of events and be responsible for one&#8217;s actions, and not succumb to fatalism or helplessness; and a challenge that causes a person to perceive change and pressure as opportunities for learning and adaptation, rather than as a threat to their stability. Through this interaction, psychological resilience allows a person to deal with crises effectively, as it helps them to interpret stressful situations in a positive way, to develop coping strategies focused on finding solutions and alternatives, while maintaining a psychological equilibrium that prevents relapse or surrender.

It contributes to increased life satisfaction, increased self-efficacy and the development of the ability to build healthy social relationships.    <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>a complex psychological ability, which is a combination of internal strength, cognitive and emotional tendencies that give a person flexibility and resilience in the face of life&#8217;s difficulties and crises, allowing them to perceive adversity and difficulties as opportunities for growth and development, rather than as threats or destructive situations.
