This special issue is devoted to the topic of "risk and resilience"
in human development, a topic that epitomizes the complexity of
human development as a process of constancy and change throughout
life. The three empirical papers in this issue represent strong
contributions to the growing corpus of research on risk and
resilience in human development. The first one focuses on the
uniquely vulnerable population of urban ethnic minority adolescent
males. The second paper focuses on the risk and resilience from
trauma in a sample of mostly Caucasian individuals from rural Iowa,
who were at the last assessment, in the midst of transition into
young adulthood. It measures an array of mental disorders outcomes
and reveals the theoretical importance of timing of the risk
factor. The last paper is a study begun in 1978 of a cohort of
individuals with serious adolescent-onset mental disorder. It
compares these individuals against the risk and resilience profiles
of a matched sample without serious adolescent-onset psychiatric
disorder. In sum this issue adds to the corpus of the frontiers of
resilience research.
