week 12 cont. EMOTION (middle childhood)
RESILIENCE
&
RISK
‘positive development, or thriving, under stress’* (Liebenberg and Ungar, 2009, p. 5).

‘patterns of positive adaptation in the context of significant risk or adversity’ (Luthar, 2003, p. 4
)
most famous study
of children’s resilience
longitudinal study
Emmy Werner and Ruth Smith.
700 babies born in the Hawaiian island of Kauai in 1955.
10% ‘invincibles’
girls more resilient?
perceived by both their families and the researchers to be very active and socially responsive as children
advanced autonomy and motor-sensory skills when toddlers.
less illness
good communication and problem solving skills.
adolescence- agency, positive self-esteem and belief in problem-solving abilities.
securely attached to their primary caregiver.
girls thrived in multi generational families
boys in smaller homes, no sibling rivalry & MALE ROLE MODELS!
encouragement, approval and the interest of adults are more likely to be resilient that those who experience humiliation, rejection or failure (Boyden and Mann, 2005).
is this study about resilience or experiences which turn out better developed, happier/level headed adults? seems all roses!!??

estimates of clinical trauma in (WAR exposed) children are often lower than expected (Garbarino and Kostelny, 1996) !!!
[w]ar is not good for children and other living things. On the other hand, we have the fact that children survive such danger and may even overcome its challenges in ways that enhance development.
(Garbarino et al., 1991, p. 378)

One of the early researchers on resilience,
Robert Coles
(1967) claimed that social crises could even
stimulate moral development
in some children by strengthening their empathy for human suffering, their altruistic sentiments, and by enhancing their commitment to serve other victims of violence.

resilience instils
hope
- despite adversity some kids shine through !!
a means to get away from a
deficit model of child development
– one which looks only at problems, risks and what children fail to do*
Drawing up a definitive checklist of risk and protective factors proved impossible as it was recognised that what might be a protective factor for one child might be a risk factor for another.*
(Based on Gilligan et al., 2014)
2009 the Oak Foundation
BAMBOO PROJECT -
sexually abused
Ethiopia, Bulgaria and Nepal
As Daniel et al. point out, ‘some young people who appear to be resilient may in fact be internalising their symptoms’ (2010, p. 70). someone may appear to be coping in the short term, in reality they may be suffering greatly.
Displaying resilience does not always ensure a happy ending.

I think most examples here are missing point... I think being practical/logical thinker & not being overly emotional makes you resilient.
genetics?
?
I think pragmatic = resilient
Activity 2 A case study of risk
Roma family in Hungary
https://learn2.open.ac.uk/mod/oucontent/view.php?id=1446312§ion=5
before watching aware my prejudices are high!!
Do they need to be in this situation ?- gypsies chose to be separate from society
Poor mother - completely understand raised in children's home so determined to avoid for her children
toddlers swearing, dragging the dog - feral ! mother & community obv not good examples
Lulu has suppressed issues- cannot believe social workers did not remove her sooner- if genuinely believe anywhere better than home( abused??)
risk & protective factors
5 levels of Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems model
The microsystem: no-one to turn to, no friends at school ).
The mesosystem: no dialogue with school.
The exosystem:Traveller site, mass unemployment, loan sharks, constant threat of care, mother unwell.
The macrosystem: work shy community, intense poverty
The chronosystem: poverty getting even worse over time.
mother does love her. has sister seek refuge with
mother trying (but often failing) to liaise with social workers,
protective factors
risk factors
none
none
mother was in care so determined to stop this for her children
Orchid child
CHRM2 gene
the most likely to suffer but most likely to excel if nurtured

now makes sense that...
the gene has also been linked to serious depression in some studies and to cognitive ability in others.
may not be a gene “for” anything—other than the tendency to follow life’s fortunes or misfortunes.*
Diary Methods/ studies
https://learn2.open.ac.uk/mod/oucontent/view.php?id=1446312§ion=9.1
methodical
traditional way - eg Darwin, Skinner and Piaget
potential issues include inaccurate recording, not continuing consistently, reticent to participate because of amount of effort required. acting differently because being studied
