Abstract
Adolescent resilience research differs from risk research by focusing on
the assets and resources that enable some adolescents to overcome the negative effects
of risk exposure. We discuss three models of resilience—the compensatory, protective,
and challenge models—and describe how resilience differs from related concepts. We
describe issues and limitations related to resilience and provide an overview of recent
resilience research related to adolescent substance use, violent behavior, and sexual
risk behavior. We then discuss implications that resilience research has for intervention
and describe some resilience-based interventions.
