Developmental Psychology on Psychological Resilience - Dictionary of Arguments
Slater I 208 Resilience/causes/protection/risks/developmental psychology: the idea of progressive and spreading effects of problems, including negative chain reactions, has been quite influential (see Masten, Burt, & Coatsworth, 2006(1); Masten et al., 2005(2); Patterson, Reid & Dishion, 1992(3); Rutter, Kim-Cohen, & Maughan, 2006(4)). In 2010, two special issues of the journal Development and Psychopathology were published on the broad theme of developmental cascades, which encompasses both negative and positive chain reactions overtime, as well as the developmental impact of the many interactions across system levels that shape individual development (Masten & Cicchetti, 2010 a(5), 2010b(6)). >Resilience/psychological theories, >Resilience/Rutter. The long-term return on investments in early child development, for example through quality preschool experiences, can be viewed as initiating a positive cascade by promoting competence, which in turn begets future competence (Heckman, 2006)(7). Similarly, effects from interventions that grow over time or affect domains not originally targeted (see Patterson, Forgatch, & DeGarmo, 2010(8)) can be viewed as cascade effects. Slater I 209 The transition to adulthood, (…) has been viewed as a normative opportunity window when brain development and concomitant capacities for planning and self-redirection, motivation to move out into the world, and the opening of opportunities afforded by societies (e.g., military service, college, apprenticeships, or mentoring) converge in many contemporary societies (Masten, Obradovic, & Burt, 2006)(9). It is probably not a coincidence that longitudinal studies of resilience spanning this window have noted positive turning points when young people who got off-track in adolescence stage a recovery or move down a positive new track (Clausen, 1991(10); Elder, 1974/1999(11); Hauser, Allen, & Golden, 2006(12); Masten et al., 2004(13); Werner & Smith, 1992(14), 2001(15); Rutter & Quinton, 1984 (16)). 1.
