This paper presents some aspects regarding resilience/ resiliency, the study of whom has been growing rapidly in recent years. The author investigates the definition of resilience in several disciplines (biology, ecology, linguistics, psychiatry, psychology, or sociology) and the different types of definitions of resilience (ecology-/ outcome-/ process-/ trait-oriented); the attributes/ components/ sub-properties of resilience (individual and social attributes); and the correlates/ determinants/ (protective) factors of resilience (biological, contextual/ environmental/ external, economic, individual/ internal/ personal, infrastructural, interactional/ relational, and sociodemographic). The conclusions are that there is no consensus on the meaning of attribute and factor and that there is no consensus on the criteria of classifying attributes of resilience and factors of resilience.
Keywords: resilience/ resilience, definition, attribute, factor
