It is also possible that a child may show resilience at one point in life and not at another. Such debates linger in the literature. Nonetheless, it is clear that the criteria by which resilience is judged in a population and how comprehensively it is assessed across domains of functioning will impact the prevalence of resilience in high-risk groups and the nature of the processes identified as relevant to resilience. One of the most important emerging domains of study concerns the linkage among multiple domains of adaptation, positive and negative, and what this may mean for understanding resilience and psychopathology.
