复原力的概念已经从个人层面的特征演变为更广泛的生态概念，考虑到更广泛的人与环境的相互作用，引发了人们对健康和福祉研究、实践和政策的日益浓厚的兴趣。与此同时，基于研究和政策的增强复原力的尝试越来越受到攻击，因为它要求个人承担责任并维持而不是挑战社会的不平等结构。当儿童和青少年面临的逆境是由根深蒂固的不平等和社会劣势造成的时，基于复原力的知识有可能影响更广泛的逆境环境。因此，复原力的概念必须包含边缘化人群挑战和改变逆境的潜力，而不是让他们对所面临的障碍负责。本文概述并提供了我们在研究和实践中采用的方法的示例，我们将其称为“Boingboing 弹性”。我们认为，有可能将复原力研究和实践与社会正义方法结合起来，对个人和更广泛的系统给予平等和同时的关注。为了实现这一目标，我们建议未来的研究应该有一个共同制作和包容性的研究设计，克服代理和责任的困境，包含社会变革的元素，并有潜力赋予儿童、年轻人和家庭权力。
The concept of resilience has evolved, from an individual-level characteristic to a wider ecological notion that takes into account broader person-environment interactions, generating an increased interest in health and well-being research, practice and policy. At the same time, the research and policy-based attempts to build resilience are increasingly under attack for responsibilizing individuals and maintaining, rather than challenging, the inequitable structure of society. When adversities faced by children and young people result from embedded inequality and social disadvantage, resilience-based knowledge has the potential to influence the wider adversity context. Therefore, it is vital that conceptualizations of resilience encompass this potential for marginalized people to challenge and transform aspects of their adversity, without holding them responsible for the barriers they face. This article outlines and provides examples from an approach that we are taking in our research and practice, which we have called Boingboing resilience. We argue that it is possible to bring resilience research and practice together with a social justice approach, giving equal and simultaneous attention to individuals and to the wider system. To achieve this goal, we suggest future research should have a co-produced and inclusive research design that overcomes the dilemma of agency and responsibility, contains a socially transformative element, and has the potential to empower children, young people, and families.
