The study highlights that psychological resilience among marginalized groups is a multi-dimensional process influenced by individual, cultural, social, and systemic factors. It emphasizes the need for supportive environments, advocacy for fundamental change, and inclusive practices to empower these communities. The Ecological Systems Theory provides a framework for understanding the interconnected layers of influence on resilience.
Marginalized groups exhibit remarkable psychological resilience in navigating systemic discrimination, social inequalities, and economic disparities. Societal support, strong social connections, and collective action are significant in strengthening resilience. Addressing structural discrimination is crucial for long-lasting resilience and empowerment.
The endurance of challenges by psychologically resilient marginalized groups underscores the significance of resilience-building strategies, public advocacy, collectiveness, and access to resources. While these groups demonstrate strategic resilience, addressing structural discrimination is vital for enhancing long-lasting resilience and empowerment.
