Resilience and vulnerability in young people
This project is currently running within the research pillar Finding Your Way in a Dynamic World of the Utrecht 木瓜福利影视 strategic theme Dynamics of Youth.
Title:
Resilience and vulnerability in young people: interactions between neighbourhood factors and individual characteristics.
Summary:
Young people who are resilient are capable of positive development even in extremely difficult circumstances. Individual characteristics can affect how vulnerable young people respond to stresses in the environment. While certain young people in problem neighbourhoods develop psychosocial problems, others show positive development in the same circumstances.
This project examines the way in which young people's individual characteristics, such as personality, genetic factors and response to stress determine the extent to which neighbourhood factors influence their psychosocial development. As such, the project is intended to provide information on people most at risk in problem neighbourhoods.
