Resilience and the Prospective Prediction of Adjustment of Adults with Disabling Conditions from Early to Middle Adulthood
Abstract
This study tested the prospective effects of a resilience personality prototype on self-reported psychological distress through its presumed relationships with mediator variables- positive affect, perceived control, and family relationships- among adults who have one or more chronic, disabling health conditions. The current investigation used data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health; Harris et al., 2009) and structural equation modeling procedures to test a model of resilience on distress over a period of approximately eight years. The study builds upon and extends the results of a previous cross-sectional study of similar variables and relationships in this sample (Barron, 2019). This study advances the current state of knowledge by informing our understanding of the temporal relationships of resilience and its underlying mechanisms in this diverse population.
