We thank the commentators for their thoughtful reflection and insight (Trudel-Fitzgerald & Ouellet-Morin, 2022) on our paper (De France, Evans, Brody & Doan, 2022). Some youth growing up in adverse contexts display remarkable resilience (Masten, 2014). A growing body of work has suggested that self-regulation and related processes including shifting and persisting (Chen, Miller, Lachman, Gruenewald & Seeman, 2012), grit, and perseverance (Duckworth and Gross, 2014) are the cornerstones of successful adaptation in the context of adversity. These selfregulatory competencies promote high effort coping and unwavering persistence towards one’s goals, and are associated with a range of positive outcomes including employment, psychological adjustment and positive health behaviors (Robson, Allen & Howard, 2020). At the same time, however, recent work has problematized notions of resilience and supported Luthar and colleagues (1993) assertion that resilience is multifaceted. In particular, competence in one domain can potentially come at a cost to others. Psychological (Wang & Peck, 2013), social (Fuller-Rowell & Doan, 2010) as well as physical health costs–as indexed by allostatic load (Brody et al., 2013) and cellular aging (Miller et al., 2015)–have all been associated with resilience. These costs in response to resilience are likely to perpetuate socioeconomic and ethnic disparities in health.We very much agree with the commentators that this body of work is only emerging and we know very little about individual variation. Who is most vulnerable to these costs? What developmental periods may be most critical? How might family processes exacerbate or mitigate these processes (eg Doan et al., 2022)? Perhaps just as importantly, what are the mechanisms that lead to these costs? It is also important to note that the accumulation of exposure to risky social and physical factors far out predicts developmental outcomes when compared with the
