Broadening the definition of resilience and "reappraising" the use of appetitive motivation

Melissa Soenke et al. Behav Brain Sci. 2015.

Abstract

Kalisch et al.'s PASTOR model synthesizes current knowledge of resilience, focusing on mechanisms as a common pathway to outcomes and highlighting neuroscience as a method for exploring this. We propose the model broaden its definition of resiliency to include positive indices of recovery, include positive affect as a mechanism, and approach motivation as distinct from overcoming aversive motivation.
