Personality and Resilience:A Critical Analysis

Resilience is something, in which people do better than expected given chronic and/or acute conditions that put them at risk. Both sociologists and social psychologists are striving very hard to dive deep into the dynamics of the subject. The paper makes an attempt to understand the concepts of personality and resilience. It analyses the theories and approaches to personality and resilience in a systematic manner. It also links these two concepts functionally and operationally.
