大多数研究者将弹性狭义地视为一种典型的个人属性。然而，社会复原力本质上是一个多层次的结构，体现在个人和群体培养、参与和维持积极的社会关系以及承受压力和社会孤立并从中恢复的能力上。组织的出现层次，从二元结构、家庭和群体到城市、文明和国际联盟，在人类存在中早已显而易见，但识别个人、关系、促进社会服从的群体结构和规范，以及确定建立社会服从的有效干预措施，代表了军队和当代行为科学面临的一些最重要的挑战。我们确定了促进社会复原力的个人资源，我们描述了一个教育，基于计算机的程序，建立在这些资源的基础上，努力提高美国军队的社会复原力。来自该项目的数据应该为建设社会复原力的挑战提供有价值的证据。
Resilience has been regarded narrowly as a quintessential individual property by most investigators. Social resilience, however, is inherently a multilevel construct, revealed by capacities of individuals, but also groups, to foster, engage in, and sustain positive social relationships and to endure and recover from stressors and social isolation. Emergent levels of organization, ranging from dyads, families, and groups to cities, civilizations, and international alliances have long been apparent in human existence, but identifying the features of individuals, relationships, and group structures and norms that promote social resilience-and determining effective interventions to build social resilience-represent some of the most important challenges facing the military as well as contemporary behavioral science. We identify mime personal resources that foster social resilience, and we describe an educational, computer-based program that builds on these resources in an effort to improve the social resilience among troops in the U.S. Army. Data from this program should provide valuable evidence regarding the challenge of building social resilience.
