Biologische Korrelate der Resilienz im Kindes- und Jugendalter

Published Online:September 01, 2006https://doi.org/10.1026/0942-5403.13.4.201

Abstract

Zusammenfassung. Biologischen Korrelaten der Resilienz wurde erst in den vergangenen Jahren vermehrt Beachtung geschenkt. Die vorliegende Arbeit gibt eine Übersicht über den gegenwärtigen Forschungsstand. Angeführt werden Befunde zu geschlechtsspezifischen Aspekten von Resilienz, sowie Ergebnisse psycho- und neurophysiologischer, bildgebender und molekulargenetischer Studien, die den Nutzen der Berücksichtigung biologischer Korrelate der Resilienz für die Entwicklungspsychopathologie belegen. Zukünftig erlaubt die Modifikation biologischer Resilienz-Merkmale möglicherweise die Entwicklung präventiver Interventionen, um die Chance für eine gelungene Entwicklung trotz aversiver Erlebnisse zu erhöhen.


Biological correlates of resilience in childhood and adolescence

Abstract. Biological correlates of resilience have only started to be studied in recent years. This paper presents a review on current empirical findings; we report gender-specific aspects of resilience, and findings from psycho- and neurophysiological, neuroimaging, and molecular genetic studies. Considering biological correlates of resilience seems a fruitful approach in developmental psychopathology. The modification of biological correlates of resilience may allow us to develop preventive interventions aiming to increase the chance of an adaptive outcome despite significant adversity.
