Abstract

Individual differences in resilience have previously been assessed through self-rating questionnaires or diagnostic criteria of mental disorders. For a deeper understanding of resilience and its application in clinical settings, it is important to describe unconscious aspects of resilience, which may reflect individuals’ recovery/adaptation. The aim of this study was to identify an alternative perspective of resilience, including unconscious aspects, to facilitate an understanding of individual differences in resilience. A projective method was used and 1,000 participants (aged 18–30 years) were asked to look at 12 pictures and describe how to recover from different stressful situations. In total, 12,000 responses were collected and analyzed using a qualitative categorizing technique. We identified 14 categories of resilience, as well as the concept of resilience orientation, through which these categories could be arranged in terms of type (restoration/acceptation/conversion) and target (self/other/higher). These findings suggest that resilience orientation could be an alternative to traditional monistic perspectives on individual differences in resilience.
