Hi, I saw your topic and realised that I had a source from a previous topic I encountered last semester, its for resiliency in children, however, it is based on delinquents. Not sure if it will be where you are heading but it was an interesting read. Hartman, J., Turner, M., Daigle, L., Exum, M. and Cullen, F. (2008). Exploring the Gender Differences in Protective Factors: Implications for Understanding Resiliency. International Journal of Offender Therapy and Comparative Criminology, 53(3), pp.249-277. http://dx.doi.org.ezproxy.canberra.edu.au/10.1177/0306624X08326910 --U3136850 (discuss • contribs) 10:50, 23 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
Hi! Thank you for this, I am most definitely going to make mention of delinquents because you cannot help but draw the connection between how resilience is often built from low socioeconomic status, and that delinquents are often a result of a low socioeconomic upbringing. But I will be sure to better word it than I just did! Thank you :). (User talk: Telgey) 15:48, 25 August 2017.

Hey there! I'm currently working on the chapter Emotional resilience in space. I think you might find some of my resources on emotional/psychological resilience interesting, although they do focus less on childhood. I've started putting them in the Resources section of my chapter, so feel free to check back now and then in case they help you in your research! I'll be sure to keep up to date with yours as well, it's a great area of research.
I've also made some very minor grammatical changes, you can check them out on your page history of course. Good luck with your chapter! --U3154661 (discuss • contribs) 05:02, 3 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I thought this topic sounded very interesting and I hope it is going well. I had an idea of a possible link to add to your external links section. The ABC Life At 5 series has an episode on resilience which may be useful and interesting. Also it is quite relevant as it is a recent Australian study, with quite reputable researchers (i think). I hope its helpful. http://www.abc.net.au/tv/life/about_the_series/life_at_5.htm

The topic development has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history to check for editing changes made whilst reviewing through the chapter. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Topic development marks will be available later via Moodle. Keep an eye on Announcements. Note that marks are based on what was available before the due date, whereas the comments may also be based on all material available at time of providing this feedback.
A 2-level heading structure provided (which is about the right level of complexity)
Avoid overly long headings
Definitions do not need their own section - incorporate into the Overview or other sections
"Importance to the subject?" is a vague heading - a stronger chapter could develop more topical headings. Ideally, the material within each section could be useful in its own right and can be linked to, so should have a stand-alone meaningful heading
Make sure to avoid providing too much background/generic material. Instead briefly summarise background concepts and provide wiki links to further information. Then focus most of the content on directly answering the core question posed by the sub-title of chapter.
The "Learnt resilience" section contains additional questions which are probably beyond this chapter's scope - instead concentrate on identifying and integrating a summary of the best available psychological theory and research to address the chapter's sub-title (core question). Similar story with "Resilience in the workforce" etc. The key to a good chapter is directly addressing the topic and only addressing the topic.
Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles.
Consider including more examples/case studies
Relevance of the Resilience scale is dubious - the topic isn't about measurement, unless there are some particularly pertinent issues related to measurement of psychological resilience in children that relates to the development of that resilience

The section "How is resilience developed?" seems to list groups that are vulnerable to low resilience or need higher resilience in order to cope with risk factors? Needs clearer explanation.
Greater caution is needed around the relationship between early deprivation and resilience (e.g., as implied in the Overview, some sections in the main body, and to a less extent in the Conclusion). The claim that early childhood deprivation is associated with resilience is problematic and needs further explanation/clarification. For example, the combination of challenge and support is more likely to develop resilience, than simply being exposed to challenge. This chapter presents a somewhat simplified and dangerous view that deprivation/challenge is sufficient for developing resilience in children. The quiz question/answer about Sally is also problematic.
The claim that resilience fades away in the absence of risk/challenge is also problematic. Does it fade away or is it dormant is the absence of risk factors? Evidence?
Some sections are not focused on PR in children e.g., "Psychological resilience in the workforce" - remove and focus on the topic, and link to other relevant chapters about related areas.

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's Moodle site. Written feedback is provided below, plus see the general feedback page. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below. If you would like further clarification about the marking or feedback, contact the unit convener.
The content is reasonably well selected and organised, however the presentation feels rushed/fast, so to improve, be more selective and what to cover and cover less content more slowly and effectively.
