This area of study typically focuses on understanding how people respond to and cope with adversity, as well as the factors that contribute to resilience and positive outcomes in the face of adversity. Adversity research may explore a range of challenges such as trauma, stress, discrimination, poverty, and other adverse life events, and often seeks to identify strategies and interventions that can help individuals overcome adversity and thrive in spite of difficult circumstances.
