Agency in resilience
Of course, cultures influence definitions of
resilience, and this is explored in Ungar’s multi-
country resilience project [6,7]. In many cultures,
psychological explanatory models of distress are
uncommon, and causality is more likely to be
attributed to external social or structural factors.
For Ungar, therefore, resilience involves both
the capacity of individuals to navigate their
way to obtaining health-sustaining resources
(including opportunities to experience feelings of
well-being) and the capacity of the individual’s
family, community and culture to provide the
needed resources and experiences in a way that is
culturally meaningful [6].
