• Interpreting psychological resilience in young African American women: a multilevel socioecological framework (2026) · Frontiers in Public Health · doi

  Public health research primarily interprets psychological resilience measures as indicators of individual adaptive capacity, with limited integration of sociological, historical, and developmental context. The existing literature lacks a socioecological framework that situates psychological resilience within patterned structural stress environments, culturally grounded resource systems, and life-course developmental contexts.

• Interpreting psychological resilience in young African American women: a multilevel socioecological framework (2026) · Frontiers in Public Health · doi

  Future research should engage with the proposed socioecological framework to refine the interpretation of psychological resilience in public health research involving young African American women. Future research should draw on multisystem resilience theory, African-centered psychology, Indigenous health scholarship, community-engaged research, and prior empirical findings.

• Community-based sport-leisure participation and perceived community psychological resilience: a three-wave RI-CLPM study of community identification and collective efficacy (2026) · Frontiers in Psychology · doi

  Less attention has been paid to the everyday behavioral practices through which residents gradually construct the psychological foundations of resilient communities. The existing literature has paid more attention to disaster preparedness, governance capacity, infrastructure, and place-based vulnerability, but less to the role of community-based sport-leisure participation in community psychological resilience.

• Relative associations of physical activity, social support, and self-control with resilience among vocational college students: a multisite cross-sectional study (2026) · Frontiers in Nutrition · doi

  The relative importance of modifiable behavioral and psychosocial resources associated with resilience remains unclear. Prior research has not fully examined the independent associations of physical activity, social support, and self-control with resilience. There is a need to understand the statistical decomposition of the physical activity-resilience association through social support and self-control.
