TL;DR: In this paper, positive psychology is presented as a movement that proposes the investigation of potentially healthy aspects of human beings in opposition to traditional psychology and its emphasis in psychopathology, and resilience is distinguished by its references to processes that explain bouncing back to adversities whose hegemonic discourse is focused on the individual.
Abstract: The present work presents positive psychology as a movement that proposes the investigation of potentially healthy aspects of human beings in opposition to traditional psychology and its emphasis in psychopathology. Among the phenomena that indicate healthy life, resilience is distinguished by its references to processes that explain bouncing back to adversities whose hegemonic discourse is focused on the individual. The quantitative studies have contributed to the naturalization of resilience as a human capacity, and the family studies were identified as based on qualitative data within systemic, ecological and developmental perspectives. Having considered the methodological difficulties and the ideological controversies of the concept it is suggested a cautious investigation of meaning before the application of the term.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the issues of risk, protection and resilience in mental development, pointing out factors that can make an individual more or less vulnerable to risk, and also, the way some can be resilient when facing the adversities.
Abstract: Risk, protection and resilience are current issues in mental development researches. Risk factor concept is already well Risk, protection and resilience are current issues in mental development researches. Risk factor concept is already well delimited, but protection factors and resilience are still mixed. Risk factors are related to environmental variables that increase the probability of bad consequences in development. On the other hand, the protection factors are associated to individual resources that decrease the risk effects, while resilience is usually related to individual protection factors that predict positive consequences in individuals exposed to an environment of risk. This paper shows how some studies describe those issues (risk, protection and resilience), pointing factors that can make an individual more or less vulnerable to risk, and also, the way some can be resilient when facing the adversities. That is, how some children and adolescents can overcome all the risk factors they have been exposed to and still develop as expected.
