Research has shown that resilience – the ability to withstand, overcome, or adapt to adversity – depends, in part, on internal qualities, or a person’s “ruggedness”. The survey you have just completed (the RRM) provides a general assessment of this ‘rugged’ resilience. If your score was lower than you would like, this indicates that you might be having difficulties with thoughts about yourself or that there are personal skills like problem-solving that could be improved. In times of adversity, these rugged qualities help to us to withstand stress and emerge positively on the other side. The good news is that many rugged qualities can be bolstered.
If you would like to learn more about strategies to improve your resilience, here are some resources:
Change Your World (book) and the 14 day resilience challenge.
If you would like to read more about the RRM, see https://rrm.resilienceresearch.org/background/.
Please remember that this survey measures your ‘rugged’ resilience and therefore assesses internal qualities. If you would like to assess your external qualities too, as part of a holistic view of resilience, please try the CYRM (for children/youth) or ARM (for adults). The CYRM/ARM helps us understand how resourced we are, which also enables our resilience.

Resilience, Adaptive Peacebuilding and Transitional Justice (2021)
Processes of post-war reconstruction, peacebuilding and reconciliation are partly about fostering stability and adaptive capacity across different social systems. Nevertheless, these processes have seldom been expressly discussed within a resilience framework. Similarly, although the goals of transitional justice – among them (re)establishing the rule of law, delivering justice and aiding reconciliation – implicitly encompass a resilience element, transitional justice has not been explicitly theorised as a process for building resilience in communities and societies that have suffered large-scale violence and human rights violations. The chapters in this unique volume theoretically and empirically explore the concept of resilience in diverse societies that have experienced mass violence and human rights abuses. They analyse the extent to which transitional justice processes have – and can – contribute to resilience and how, in so doing, they can foster adaptive peacebuilding. This book is available as Open Access.
