The CBI
Authors: Casey Steven
Published: March 2021

Although generals and reporters in the Pacific complained that their campaigns were being neglected at home, the China-India-Burma theater was to many Americans the real backwater. The media had done a good job covering the searing defeat in Burma in 1942, but for the next two years it showed little interest in Joseph Stilwell’s efforts to revamp his complex command, build up supply dumps in India, and turn the Chinese troops in India into a new force. Media interest started to grow when Stilwell launched an offensive in 1944, with reporters devoting most of their attention to the exploits of Merrill’s Marauders, but then the censors clamped down hard on the stalemate at Myitkyina. By October 1944, Stilwell had created so many enemies in the theater that Roosevelt decided to relieve him just days before the presidential election.
Flying the Flag
Authors: Casey Steven
Published: March 2021

With MacArthur’s return to the Philippines grabbing the headlines, the navy made renewed efforts to publicize its battles in the central Pacific. Photojournalists were the biggest beneficiaries, with access to a new laboratory on Guam and fewer censorship rules. During the bloody battle on Iwo Jima, these improvements reaped a large reward, with the prompt publication of Joe Rosenthal’s famous picture of the flag raising on the top of Mount Suribachi. During the next campaign, on Okinawa, the correspondents struggled to achieve the same impact. Ernie Pyle, the most prominent of them, fell to an enemy bullet, while the survivors initially had to compete for front-page space with the end of the war in Europe.
Toward Tokyo Bay
Authors: Casey Steven
Published: March 2021

Okinawa received much more media attention from mid-May, after the German surrender. The censors also relaxed restrictions on reporting the kamikaze story, which reinforced the growing sense on the home front that the Pacific War was particularly brutal and bloody. As Harry Truman, the new president, looked for ways to end it, attention shifted to the air war. The air force happily publicized its incendiary bombing of Tokyo, followed by the destruction of the five largest cities in Japan. Even before the atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, such carnage drew little protest across America.
Stories about Following or Chasing
Authors: Kelly Brine
Published: March 2021

This chapter describes and illustrates using storyboards several techniques a director can use when blocking and shooting a pursuit. Scenes that involve following and chasing are common in film stories: police officers, detectives, reporters, jealous spouses, and hitmen could have reasons to pursue someone. As shown in this chapter, the key visual storytelling consideration is whether the story should be told from the point of view of the follower or the one being followed, as this greatly influences the cinematography. While there are many ways to design a pursuit, certain types of shots and cuts are often used because they are so effective at covering this type of action. The cinematic storytelling and continuity editing ideas that are employed in the examples that are illustrated and explained have wide applicability.
Power
Authors: Ungemah Joe
Published: March 2021

This chapter replays the Stanford Prison Experiment by Philip Zimbardo, going into detail about how the arbitrary assignment of guard and prisoner roles led to some of the most sadistic behavior witnessed in a laboratory environment. The study demonstrated how behavioral scripts are put in motion, where people conform to social stereotypes and role expectations as driven by power and influence differentials. The experiment is juxtaposed against the 2016 Academy Awards, where indirect forms of power resulted in a lack of minority nominations, bringing to light a multitude of signs pointing to indirect discrimination. The outcry led to a commitment to both overhaul membership in the academy and improve the mechanics of the awards process. Implications for the workplace extend to diversity and inclusion practices and policies to safeguard against harassment and bullying.
Intent
Authors: Ungemah Joe
Published: March 2021

This chapter recounts the experience of a Chinese couple who attempted to find accommodation and food as they traveled up and down the Pacific Coast in 1934. Despite owners saying that they would refuse the travelers, the couple was received in all but one of the 251 guest houses and restaurants, demonstrating a disconnect between intention and action when people are confronted face to face with the target of their discrimination. Fast-forward to 2016, and Airbnb is struggling to address discrimination within its network of properties, where potential guests were declined service based purely on ethnicity, made possible by the distance created by technology. Recent research involving the gay and transgender communities shows how attitudes can be more closely aligned to behavior. By engaging in deep conversation, making personal connections, and evoking empathy, change is possible.
Obedience
Authors: Ungemah Joe
Published: March 2021

This chapter discusses the life and work of Stanley Milgrim, who created an electrical shock box to see how far the average person would go to appease an authority figure. In his study, the majority of participants followed instructions to the end, putting aside their own reservations about what was ethical and right. Milgrim discovered that obedience could be expected in situations with a legitimate authority figure, established obligations, worthy goals, vague ethical guidelines, limited time to contemplate, and binary decisions. Seeing that these same traits characterize the traditional workplace, questions are raised about whether the average employee can overcome pressures against whistle-blowing and hold their organization accountable for unethical behavior.
Conflict
Authors: Ungemah Joe
Published: March 2021

This chapter tells the story of Sherif’s Robbers Cave experiment, where a group of boys were invited to a false summer camp to experience group dynamics in action. Split into two groups, conflict was purposely created and dispelled across a series of coordinated events, highlighting just how hardwired group designations are in the human psyche. The chapter continues by looking at The Troubles of Northern Ireland through the lens of social identity theory, which explains how social mobility, group categorization, and self-esteem influence the pervasiveness of group conflict. Together, these examples demonstrate that the creation of superordinate goals, blurring of social lines, and reducing the importance of group differentiators can have a marked impact on prejudice and unite people of different backgrounds.
Why Berlin? Why Klezmer?
Authors: Alexander Phil
Published: March 2021

This book begins with an invocation of the sounds and significations that make up the complex of meanings of klezmer music in Berlin, as seen through a new jam session that began in the city in 2013. It underlines the importance of locating the music both historically and in its contemporary urban context—giving a brief but important sense of the past and present geographies of klezmer music, and also signaling exactly where and how the debate has significantly moved on from the anxieties of “virtual Judaism” and cultural appropriation. The chapter lays out the author’s methodology, as well as signposting certain theoretical frameworks that structure the narrative: the urban spatial critique of Lefebvre and de Certeau; British cultural studies work by Stuart Hall and others; the applied sociology of Adam Krims and Mark Granovetter; and the ethnomusicological framing of Mark Slobin and Martin Stokes. The chapter finishes with an appealing ethnographic snapshot of an evening of community music making, “the Night of the Singing Balconies”—an event that sums up several of the themes structuring this book. This collective concert is analyzed as a lively embodiment of contemporary Berlin performative culture: grassroots inclusivity; a firm belief in the power of enthusiasm over the necessity of talent; and a structural and ideological integration into the fabric of the city itself. The engaging observational style with which the Singing Balconies are described not only brings the night to life but also makes clear the book’s overall approach of ethnographic detail underpinned by solid theoretical framing.
Sounding Jewish in Berlin
Authors: Alexander Phil
Published: March 2021

This chapter devotes specific consideration to the complex relationship between contemporary Jewish identity and klezmer music in the city—as seen in two case studies that both directly address Berlin Jewish history through music. The first of these is a project that unearths the rich recorded legacy of two prewar Berlin Jewish record labels (Semer and Lukraphon) and re-presents their music for a modern concert audience. Despite the pre-Holocaust provenance of this music, a post-Holocaust framing is unavoidable, making these materials both a way of hearing the past and also a commentary on the present (including changing German-Jewish relations). In the process, Semer Ensemble raises important questions about the relationship of bounded historical materials to contemporary performance practice. The chapter also critiques the project, arguing that while it powerfully illustrates the wealth of talent and creativity in Berlin’s Jewish music scene, it also bends certain historical narratives to better suit its own artistic aims. Secondly, the chapter discusses the life story and work of singer Tania Alon, one of the few Berlin-born Jews on today’s klezmer and Yiddish scene. Tania’s deeply felt testimony as the granddaughter of Holocaust victims stands as a powerful contrast to the easy fluidity of the contemporary milieu and reminds us of the very personal resonances that this music also contains. In particular, Tania’s singing at Stolpersteine ceremonies is explored, through her own words, as a way of sounding the silenced voices of her family and simultaneously an aural part of the urban fabric.
Curating the Tradition
Authors: Alexander Phil
Published: March 2021

This chapter steps a little away from the city itself to look at some of the processes of education, repertoire formation, and dissemination that underpin the transmission of klezmer and Yiddish music within Germany, including how these processes link to the wider transnational scene. It begins with a discussion of the nature of “tradition” in this context, especially pertinent considering the postwar development of this particular tradition in Germany (and its revitalization around much of the world) and klezmer’s continual problematic dialogue with nostalgia and cliché. The chapter then critiques the German workshop hegemony of the 1990s that underpins the current scene, including the perceived split between the universalist tendencies of Argentinian-Israeli clarinetist Giora Feidman and the historically rooted work of American musicians such as Alan Bern. The second half of the chapter is a lively case study of the German scene’s (and Europe’s) most important transmission hub, Yiddish Summer Weimar. This influential and well-established annual series is analyzed through several theoretical filters—filters that unite musical and social principles through the praxis of the Weimar workshops themselves. Once again, these theoretical frameworks are both supported and made accessible through a sustained emphasis on first-person ethnographic detail, drawn in this instance from the author’s attendance at the advanced instrumental workshop week in 2014 and from interviews with participants in subsequent years. This ethnography is also strongly supported by deeply articulate and provocative interview material with Yiddish Summer Weimar’s artistic director, Alan Bern.
Conclusion
Authors: Alexander Phil
Published: March 2021

This section ties up the central argument of the book, namely, that Berlin’s klezmer music should be understood as music of/from a city, and that it is the perpetual dialogue with the city that makes the music relevant to its audiences, meaningful to its participants, and worthy of ongoing study. Drawing back from Berlin itself, the chapter reiterates the central claim of the book, which is that for traditional music to survive and flourish in a contemporary urban environment, it must stake its claim as an engaged part of the modern urban soundscape. Klezmer in Berlin connects itself to the histories and geographies of the city; in the process, it moves decisively away from moribund debates of guilt or cultural appropriation, toward a dynamic and provocative lived engagement with tradition, cosmopolitanism, Jewishness, and the contemporary city.
History and Existence (Hedda Gabler)
Authors: Gjesdal Kristin
Published: March 2021

“History and Existence” investigates Ibsen’s presentation of history and historians in Hedda Gabler. It shows how Ibsen, in a Nietzschean spirit, scrutinizes the disconnect between the past and the prosaic reality of the new and educated middle classes. The discussion focuses on the two historians of the play, but also on Hedda’s fight against nihilism. For Ibsen, though, it seems that it is the task of the artist, rather than just the historians and philosophers, to mend, or at least articulate, this gap between the past and the present.
The Study Approach and Methodology
Authors: Douglas Heather
Published: March 2021

The chapter outlines the approach and methodology of the study that underpins this book. This study draws on interviews with 65 women who have experienced intimate partner violence (IPV) and interacted with the legal system. The women were interviewed on three occasions over a 3-year period to understand how their experiences of law changed over time. This chapter also describes the characteristics of the women who took part in the study and the limitations of the study. It provides an overview of previous studies that have interviewed people over time and considers the choice of language used in this book.
Interacting With the Child Protection Service
Authors: Douglas Heather
Published: March 2021

This chapter focuses on the women’s interaction with child protection workers and he child protection system in the context of intimate partner violence (IPV). Many women who have experienced IPV have contact with child protection services (CPS); some contact CPS seeking help, and others are investigated by CPS as a result of IPV and complaints made about their mothering. Three key themes are explored in this chapter. Women felt they were held to account by CPS workers for their ex-partner’s IPV. A number of women reported that their partners made malicious allegations to CPS about them, leading to lengthy and stressful investigations that resulted in no concerns being found about their mothering. Some women’s experiences highlighted the complex experience of IPV, intergenerational trauma, and CPS involvement.
Lawyers and Legal Representation
Authors: Douglas Heather
Published: March 2021

This chapter explores women’s involvement with lawyers after experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV). While women generally had a positive experience with their own lawyers, many women reported difficulties in getting access to and retaining state-funded legal aid. Women who paid privately for legal advice and representation often faced mounting debts, causing significant anxiety. Some women found their stress and debt were amplified by their ex-partner’s abuse of legal processes and, in some cases, the unethical behavior of their ex-partner’s lawyer. For many women their circumstances in relation to legal representation and potential costs influenced their decisions about going to law. This chapter also explores the range of strategies and compromises women employed to access legal support and the stresses and challenges they faced when they were only partially represented or unrepresented.
Judges in the Protection Orders and Family Law Systems
Authors: Douglas Heather
Published: March 2021

This chapter explores women’s interactions with judges when they appeared before them in relation to protection orders and child custody orders after experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV). Commonly women identified that judges prioritized physical violence and minimized other forms of abuse and that they seemed to align with abusers, discounting the women’s experiences of abuse. Women identified that judges often lacked preparation for hearings, rubber-stamped witness subpoenas, and failed to stop irrelevant witness examination. They explained how these approaches facilitated their partner’s misuse of the legal system as a tactic of abuse. Women also discussed how judges, especially in the family courts, prioritized fathers’ rights to contact with children over safety. However, women’s stories also demonstrated resistance to their abuser’s control over them through the courts, and their efforts to ensure the safety of their children regardless of court orders.
The Process and Conditionality of Separation
Authors: Douglas Heather
Published: March 2021

This chapter considers women’s dynamic experiences of leaving violent relationships in the shadow of static legal understandings of separation and the ongoing dangers women face when they engage with legal systems and processes. When women are trying to separate, sometimes law is the one thing that keeps bringing them back into contact with their abuser. This chapter highlights women’s experiences of separation as a process and journey rather than a single moment in time. Drawing on the experiences of some of the women in the study, two areas of law where separation underpins the legal response are highlighted: the migration and visa system and the family law system.
Conclusion
Authors: Douglas Heather
Published: March 2021

This final chapter affirms the importance of listening to women’s experiences when considering how legal responses to intimate partner violence might be improved to make women safe. The chapter reviews key themes identified in the book, including abusers’ use of the legal system to continue abuse and the role of child protection workers, police, lawyers, and judges in facilitating that abuse. It highlights a common and continuing failure of those who work in the legal system to recognize the significance of nonphysical abuse, to persistently misunderstand the dynamics of separation and ultimately, to fail to prioritize safety. This chapter makes recommendations for law and policy reform toward making the legal system safer.
God Save the USSR
Authors: Eden Jeff
Published: March 2021

God Save the USSR reviews religious life in the Soviet Union during the Second World War and shows how, as the Soviet Red Army was locked in brutal combat against the Nazis, Stalin ended the state’s violent, decades-long persecution of religion. In a stunning reversal, priests, imams, rabbis, and other religious elites—many of them newly released from the Gulag—were tasked with rallying Soviet citizens to a “Holy War” against Hitler. The book depicts the delight of some citizens, and the horror of others, as Stalin’s reversal encouraged a widespread perception that his “war on religion” was over. A revolution in Soviet religious life ensued: soldiers prayed on the battlefield; entire villages celebrated once-banned holidays; and state-backed religious leaders used their new positions to not only consolidate power over their communities but also petition for further religious freedoms. As a window on this wartime “religious revolution,” this book focuses on the Soviet Union’s Muslims, using sources in several languages (including Russian, Tatar, Bashkir, Uzbek, Persian, and Kumyk). Drawing evidence from eyewitness accounts, interviews, soldiers’ letters, frontline poetry, agents’ reports, petitions, and the words of Soviet Muslim leaders, the book argues that the religious revolution was fomented simultaneously by the state and by religious Soviet citizens: the state gave an inch, and many citizens took a mile, as atheist Soviet agents looked on in exasperation at the resurgence of unconcealed devotional life.
Praying with Stalin
Authors: Eden Jeff
Published: March 2021

This chapter shows how Soviet Muslim leaders were called upon to rally their communities in wartime; how they articulated the fight against Hitler in Islamic terms; how they attempted to advance a platform of shared values and shared interests with the Soviet state; and how they used the novel occasion of addressing their followers to define communal religious identity in terms that, just a few years earlier, could well have earned these same elites a trip to the Gulag and a bullet in the head. At the heart of this chapter are several remarkable speeches, translated here from Uzbek, Bashkir, Persian, and Russian—each one a call to the war against Hitler issued by Soviet Muslim muftis in language that bridges Soviet wartime propaganda and classical Islamic rhetoric on “Holy War.”
Digital Music Play in Early Childhood
Authors: Burton Suzanne L.
Published: March 2021

The chapter describes how mobile technology is firmly planted in young children’s everyday lives as they watch YouTube videos and play with apps that entertain and educate. Yet the question remains, What is the role of mobile technology in early childhood music education? There is concern that technology will compromise the active, playful musicking of young children. Mobile devices, however, can be used to support music development, with digital music play working in tandem with traditional music play in the form of converged music play. This chapter describes the ways in which early childhood teachers can incorporate mobile technology into their practice, extending its use to young children’s musicking in early childhood music settings, at home and in play spaces.
Living at the Intersection of Tablets, Music, and Disability
Authors: Hammel Alice , Rathgeber Jesse
Published: March 2021

The chapter considers potential possibilities and pitfalls encountered by music learners and scholar-practitioners when using tablet-based technologies for music making and learning. The authors address this question by providing a nuanced, anti-ableist, and balanced discussion of issues that arise at the intersection of adaptive and tablet-based technologies, music learning and making, and disability. First, the chapter highlights applications and approaches discussed elsewhere in the volume, addressing their potentials for fostering adaptive, inclusive, equitable, and meaningful music learning and making with and for disabled musickers/musickers with disabilities (DM/MwD) that can include tablets. Then the authors draw on theoretical perspectives indigenous to discourses about disability studies to problematize these resources, calling attention to potentially negative implications related to autonomy, extracurricular advancement, and othering rooted in and affirming ableism. The chapter concludes with questions and suggestions to assist music learners and scholar-practitioners in navigating the intersections and interactions of tablet-based technologies, use of apps, music learning and making, and disability.
Choosing Engaging Tools for the Music Classroom
Authors: Frankel James Thomas
Published: March 2021

Over the course of the past fifty years, countless software and hardware products have been introduced into music classrooms around the world with varying degrees of pedagogical success. The majority of these products were geared toward professional and amateur musicians and composers, only to be introduced to music teachers, either organically (teachers bringing real-world products into their classrooms) or through the efforts of manufacturers to obtain a new revenue stream for their products by selling them to schools. Knowing this, teachers often find it difficult to become aware of, identify, and choose these tools for use in their classroom instruction. The chapter presents key elements in successfully identifying and implementing creative, intuitive, and engaging tools for teaching, learning, and music making in the music classroom, as well as measuring their efficacy. Case studies focusing on the practices of several music educators are presented, including interviews with the software designers to illuminate the process behind innovative design. In addition to these case studies, a discussion of current products and their individual features and design ethos is given, with an emphasis on concepts instead of brands and devices.
Taking the Digital Plunge
Authors: Janack Joseph
Published: March 2021

Meant to serve as a teachers’ guide, this chapter is a result of first-hand experience from a school music teacher whose philosophies, teaching style, and job roles have all evolved over time. Drawing on philosophies such as informal music learning and praxial music education, suggestions for different programs, apps, and websites, sample lesson plans and their implementation for optimal student music engagement are presented. The ideas provided can help support a fully digital lesson or unit with ways to combine these technologies with instruments in the general music classroom and with performance ensembles. Practical insights that will help teachers successfully incorporate technology into the music classroom are given. The results of successfully using technology in the classroom can be seen by increased student engagement and enjoyment while offering the teacher more ways to teach the curriculum.
iAssess
Authors: Johnson-Green Elissa
Published: March 2021

For many music teachers, assessment of student work holds several challenges: How to employ a concrete grading system for an inherently subjective, artistic experience; how to organize and present content for PK-5 grade levels so that learning is both meaningful and assessable; and how to design a music curriculum that ultimately encourages a powerful connection to music long after students have left the classroom. To help teachers face these challenges, the chapter demonstrates a music composition–based curriculum in which students use an iPad and other technologies to assess themselves and demonstrate their musical thinking, their progress, and development of compositional skills through self-reflective discussions of their work. Four sections describe iAssessment: (1) the background, context, and description of the music composition curriculum; (2) the techniques used to combine technology with composition effectively; (3) a description and analysis of student work that demonstrates the development of their musical thinking; and (4) thoughts and conclusions.
Tower of Babel?
Authors: McBride Catherine , Mo Jianhong
Published: March 2021

This chapter discusses approaches to literacy development and impairment across cultures. Much of the work has contrasted Chinese and English literacy learning. The chapter reviews the connection between speech and reading; the importance of alphabet knowledge for reading; the nature and significance of morphological awareness for several aspects of literacy; aspects of writing such as maternal mediation, copying, and writing composition; and reading comprehension. Work in different cultural contexts has highlighted the fact that there are universals common to the literacy acquisition process but also aspects that are more important for reading and writing in some languages and scripts than in others.
On Dynamic Contexts and Unstable Categories
Authors: Ryder Andrew G. , Doucerain Marina M. , Zhou Biru , Dere Jessica , Jurcik Tomas , Zhou Xiaolu
Published: March 2021

This chapter discusses the lead author’s research program at the intersection of cultural psychology and clinical psychology from 1997 to 2017, emphasizing work conducted with one or more of the co-authors—former graduate students who are now independent researchers. After a brief consideration of formative research experiences, the chapter begins with research on the dynamic contexts of migrants undergoing acculturation. Much of this work challenges essentialized cultural groups, although it also tends to rely on standard measures of psychosocial adjustment. In contrast, the next part of the chapter covers research on the unstable categories of psychopathology observed when cultural variation is taken seriously. Much of this work challenges essentialized diagnostic categories, although it also tends to rely on standard group comparisons. The chapter’s final major section describes the development of cultural-clinical psychology, proposing a research agenda that would combine dynamic views of culture and psychopathology with implications for clinical practice.
The Jazz Age
Authors: Gioia Ted
Published: March 2021

This chapter traces the rise of Louis Armstrong to stardom during the 1920s, and the emergence of jazz as the defining music of the decade—a period now often called the “Jazz Age.” Armstrong’s historic recordings, the “Hot Fives” and “Hot Sevens,” are assessed, as well as his work with influential pianist Earl Hines. These developments are placed in the context of the growing importance of Chicago in the jazz world of this era, and the stylistic changes brought about by this geographical shift. The chapter also looks at the leading exponents of Chicago jazz, especially cornetist Bix Beiderbecke and saxophonist Frankie Trumbauer, as well as the work of Paul Whiteman, Pee Wee Russell, Sidney Bechet, and Jack Teagarden.
Modern Jazz
Authors: Gioia Ted
Published: March 2021

The rise of modern jazz—or “bebop” as it was called—dramatically changed the landscape of the music in the 1940s, transforming the genre into a truly progressive and experimental idiom. But this came at a cost, marking a shift from jazz’s predominance as a popular music, and turning it into an art music addressing a much smaller audience. This chapter looks at the innovations of the leading bebop musicians, especially Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, and Thelonious Monk. Other artists addressed include Bud Powell, Lennie Tristano, Sarah Vaughan, and Dave Brubeck. The chapter concludes with an assessment of big band jazz during the post–World War II era, including the work of Woody Herman and Stan Kenton.
The Fragmentation of Jazz Styles
Authors: Gioia Ted
Published: March 2021

In the post–World War II years, jazz started to split off into many different directions, spurring a fragmentation that expanded the creative range of the idiom but caused long-lasting divisions among artists and fans (the so-called jazz wars). The first fault lines emerged between traditional and modern jazz exponents, but during the 1950s and early 1960s, many different styles emerged—including cool jazz, hard bop, soul jazz, West Coast jazz, modal jazz, Third Stream jazz, and various experimental approaches. This chapter traces these stylistic developments, and their leading exponents. It looks at the life and work of Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Thelonious Monk, Stan Getz, Charles Mingus, and Bill Evans, among other major jazz stars of the era, and assesses key albums such as Kind of Blue, Mingus Ah Um, and Giant Steps.

Introduction Why a Volume on Multisystemic Resilience?
Authors: Ungar Michael

While different disciplines have developed theory and models to explain the resilience of the systems they study (e.g., a natural environment, a community postdisaster, the human mind, a computer network, or the economy), there is a lack of overarching theory that describes (i) whether the principles that underpin the resilience of one system are similar or different from the principles that govern resilience of other systems; (ii) whether the resilience of one system affects the resilience of other co-occurring systems; and (iii) whether a better understanding of resilience can inform the design of interventions, programs, and policies that address “wicked” problems that are too complex to solve by changing one system at a time. This introduction to the volume discusses why an edited collection of papers like this is needed and provides a short synopsis of the chapters, arranged by discipline.
Promoting Resilience Within Public Health Approaches for Indigenous Communities
Authors: Mushquash Christopher , Toombs Elaine , Kowatch Kristy , Lund Jessie , Dalicandro Lauren , Boles Kara
Published: March 2021

Resilience within public health is conceptualized to be fostered through individual, community, and systemic initiatives that promote capacity through interconnected primary, secondary, and tertiary health interventions. Within community public health settings, particularly for Canadian Indigenous communities, an emphasis on interconnected, multisystemic interventions that promote resilience can be particularly useful. Fostering resilience within Indigenous health seeks to prioritize unique needs of individuals and communities, through both process- and outcome-based measurement. Given that Indigenous individuals’ needs may differ from non-Indigenous populations in Canada, careful consideration of how to best conceptualize, measure, and promote resilience is required. Tools such as the Native Wellness Assessment and the First Nations Mental Wellness Continuum Framework can be helpful to both measure and conceptualize resilience, as they can provide insight on what is considered to be best practices to increasing wellness within Indigenous communities. Such tools continue to prioritize the multisystemic promotion of resilience.
Resilience in Developmental Systems
Authors: Masten Ann S.
Published: March 2021

This chapter highlights findings from the developmental research on resilience in children and families. From a developmental systems perspective, resilience is defined as the capacity of a dynamic system to adapt successfully to challenges that threaten the function, survival, or development of the system. Principles that inform this perspective are delineated, along with implications for the meaning of resilience and its applications in practice. Many interacting systems shape the development of individuals as well as families, such that capacity for adapting successfully to adversity will depend on the interactions of multiple systems. Salient models of resilience are discussed along with key concepts in developmental resilience science, such as pathways, cascades, promotive factors, and protective factors. Common resilience factors observed across system levels are identified from studies of human resilience. A resilience framework for action is described, including five components, and new horizons in developmental multisystem resilience research are summarized.
Stressor Appraisal as an Explanation for the Influence of Extra-Individual Factors on Psychological Resilience
Authors: Kalisch Raffael , Kampa Miriam
Published: March 2021

In this chapter, the authors show how studying stressor appraisal and resulting adaptive coping potentially provides a parsimonious explanation of psychological resilience. Extra-individual factors such as social support, favorable environmental conditions, or positive cultural influences have all been found to be associated with people maintaining mental health in the face of adversity. It thus appears logical that the inclusion of extra-individual factors into models of psychological resilience will improve our understanding of the concept. However, these multisystemic approaches to resilience sometimes ignore that the presence of adversity is an essential part of the concept of psychological resilience: some individuals stay mentally healthy despite being exposed to significant stressors. As a consequence, extra-individual factors that reduce or limit individuals’ overall exposure to stressors (e.g., material support, healthy living conditions, safe neighborhoods) may be beneficial for their mental health, but they do not, as such, inform about resilience. Classifying these buffers as resilience factors blurs the resilience concept, because by removing stressors they remove a driving force for mental health deteriorations rather than help individuals to not let the stressors drive mental health changes. The authors argue that the primary mechanism for mental health in contexts of stressor exposure remains individual appraisal of difficult situations in a way that produces adaptive stress reactions. These reactions promote coping with the threat but do not overly burden or unnecessarily consume an organism’s resources, thereby containing the deleterious consequences of stressor exposure on mental health.
Resilience in the Salutogenic Model of Health
Authors: Mittelmark Maurice B.
Published: March 2021

This chapter discusses the question, how does Antonovsky’s salutogenic model of health address the concept resilience? Resilience scholarship focuses on coping processes in persons and groups who experience severe adversity and deprivation, while salutogenic processes are posited to be descriptive of coping in all persons. Resilience scholarship has always had a focus on developing interventions to help people do well in life despite barriers, while salutogenesis has until recently been more concerned with descriptive research. Resilience and salutogenesis share the perspective that coping is culturally and contextually bounded. Resilience scholarship is principled, but no single, articulated theory is dominate. Salutogenesis is well developed as a theory, following the scholarship of Aaron Antonovsky. The concept resilience does not have a formal place in salutogenesis theory, yet when salutogenesis scholars focus on coping under conditions of severe adversity, they apply resilience approaches and strategies, even if the concept resilience is not explicit.
People, Perceptions, and Process
Authors: Alessa Lilian , Kliskey Andrew
Published: March 2021

In this chapter, the authors refer to resilience as a process predicated on the ability to accurately sense, perceive, and/or evaluate change trajectories, frequency, and magnitude. As a social process, resilience is governed by perceptions—they determine awareness, or lack thereof, of social-ecological system states and guide responsive actions under chronic or catastrophic change. Successful adaptive response is determined by the accuracy of perceptions to actual change. When these are closely aligned, an individual or community is said to have a small delta, or difference between perceived and actual change, and is thus more likely to enact responses that are adaptive—this is known as P Δ I. The extent to which modern conveniences and technology act as a barrier to the awareness of change in the state of landscape or resource conditions (e.g., change over time in water availability or fish abundance or political decision-making) is known as technology-induced environmental distancing and demonstrates how perceptions contribute to resilience as a process. This chapter emphasizes the crucial role of perceptions in multisystemic resilience.
Learning About Systemic Resilience From Studies of Student Resilience
Authors: Theron Linda
Published: March 2021

Manifold studies account for student resilience—that is, successful learning and development in the face/aftermath of significant stressors. These studies compel attention to multiple systems at micro and macro level, and associated supports, that scaffold positive student outcomes in the face of risk. Accordingly, this chapter uses student resilience studies to make a case for a more systemic understanding of human resilience. An exploration of the interacting systems that co-facilitate student resilience prompts three propositions: (a) the resilience of a challenged human system (or subsystem) is meaningfully co-facilitated by co-occurring human and non-human systems at the micro through to macro levels; (b) co-occurring, co-facilitative systems are functional (i.e., resilient) systems; and (c) there might be a cost to the co-facilitative system or subsystem, but this potential cost can be moderated by the provision of relevant interventions and/or rewards.
Psychological Resilience in Response to Adverse Experiences
Authors: Popham Cassandra M. , McEwen, and Fiona S. , Pluess Michael
Published: March 2021

In the field of developmental psychology, resilience is broadly understood as positive adaptation despite exposure to adversity. The concept provides an explanation for the wide variability in mental health outcomes observed in children exposed to adverse experiences. Although resilience has become an important and influential concept in the field, some fundamental questions remain, such as how it should be defined and operationalized and what the specific processes are that lead to positive mental health outcomes in some children but not others. These questions are particularly relevant in the context of the global refugee crisis to understand and promote resilience in children exposed to war and displacement. In this chapter the authors argue that a holistic view is required to understand resilience and provide a model integrating five important psychological concepts. The five components of our integrated model of resilience suggest that (a) development is nested within multiple psychosocial and bio-ecological systems; (b) individual differences in environmental sensitivity influence the individual response to both negative and positive aspects of the environment; (c) resilience mechanisms can be investigated across multiple levels of analysis; (d) the conceptualization of positive adaptation should consider multiple outcome dimensions; and (e) resilience represents a developmental process that needs to be examined longitudinally. After presenting this model, the authors review empirical studies in relation to each of these five components and suggest how they can be further applied in the study of resilience to war and displacement in refugee children.
The Multisystem Approach to Resilience in the Context of Organizations
Authors: Crane Monique
Published: March 2021

This chapter explores a multisystem approach to employee resilience. Although individual-level perspectives have dominated the science of occupational resilience and intervention approaches there is a growing body of work that is giving consideration to the role of organizational systems in employee resilience. Proponents of a multisystem approach to employee resilience suggest that suboptimal workplace environments are major contributors to decrements in employee resilience. The question that this chapter addresses is how employers should look after their staff. The answer is via a multisystems approach to staff resilience that involves attention to job design, job demands, supportive leadership behaviors, and available job-based resources to cope with workplace demands.
