The cognitive basis of resilience

本项目旨在测试对不良事件的弹性是否可以通过修改信息处理因素来影响。高复原力反映了在不良事件发生后维持适应性心理功能的能力，并影响身体，情感，社会和经济福祉。该项目将测试的假设，在事件处理的不同阶段的注意力和含义推理的偏见影响幸福。它将使用敏感地评估和操纵偏见的认知方法，从而揭示它们在确定弹性方面的因果作用。预计调查结果将直接有助于国家努力建设健康和有复原力的社区。

This project aims to test whether resilience to bad events can be influenced by modifying information processing factors. High resilience reflects the ability to sustain adaptive psychological functioning in the wake of bad events, and affects physical, emotional, social, and economic wellbeing. The project will test the hypothesis that biases in attention and implicational inferencing at differing stages of event processing affect wellbeing. It will use cognitive methodologies that sensitively assess and manipulate biases, thereby revealing their causal role in the determination of resilience. The findings are expected to directly contribute to national efforts to build healthy and resilient communities.
