Which of the following characteristics is NOT typically found in resilient individuals?

espousing hopeful attitudes
having supportive relationships
being connected to a safe community
having no personal challenges

The correct answer is: having no personal challenges

Resilient individuals are often characterized by their ability to face and adapt to challenges rather than being devoid of personal difficulties. They typically possess hopeful attitudes, which enable them to maintain a positive outlook even in the face of adversity. Additionally, supportive relationships play a crucial role in resilience because they provide emotional support and encouragement during tough times. Being connected to a safe community can foster a sense of belonging and security, further contributing to an individual's capacity to bounce back from setbacks. In contrast, having no personal challenges is not a characteristic of resilience. Resilience is demonstrated through how individuals cope with and learn from challenges, setbacks, or trauma. Therefore, the presence of challenges is not only common but essential in understanding the nature of resilience, making the distinction clear that resilient individuals navigate and overcome personal obstacles rather than existing without them.
