Describe the basic features of personality resilience

What will be an ideal response?

Answer: The student has some scope here, but a good answer would contain a definition and a bit of explanation. The textbook defines resilience as the ability to recover from tragedy, adversity, or hardship and the ability to adapt to ongoing life stressors. After an initial shock or adverse life event, some people succumb to the trauma, some people seem unaffected by it and the resilient ones are thrown off balance and then recover from it.
