Study Hypotheses

Our primary hypothesis was that the variables selected to assess each of the three aspects of the temporal dimension of bouncing back from stress would be related to the BRS. That is, we expected mindfulness and mood clarity to be related to resilience because they may enable a person to confront a stressful event (Brown & Ryan, 2003; Salovey et al., 1995), optimism and purpose in life to be related to resilience because they may be involved in orienting a person towards a successful outcome (Scheier & Carver, 2001; Smith & Zautra, 2004), and active coping and social support to be related to resilience because they are important for engaging in efforts to cope with stress (Cohen & Wills, 1985; Scheier & Carver, 2003). Our secondary hypothesis was that that spirituality (Pargament, 1997), positive relations with others (Smith & Zautra, 2008), age (Scheibe & Carstensen, 2010), income, and education (Adler et al., 1994) would be related to resilience. We had no specific hypothesis about whether resilience scores would vary by gender.
