Pathways to Integration
from Part II - Methods for Studying the Development of Coping
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 June 2023
Concepts of resilience and coping have a shared history rooted in efforts to understand how individuals adapt to challenging or stressful experiences. Yet, there are notable differences in these two traditions of research. This chapter examines conceptual similarities and divergences in research traditions on resilience and coping. We highlight the general neglect of culture and context in early research on both concepts and draw attention to recent efforts focused on understanding how coping and resilience processes operate in sociocultural context. Finally, we offer suggestions for aligning these two traditions of research to move toward a more comprehensive framework spanning levels of analysis and disciplines. Integrating these two traditions of research has the potential to advance understanding of how interconnected adaptive systems promote and protect human development and health, providing evidence to guide practice and policy in the face of complex multisystem challenges now confronting human life and development.
