Historically, studies of childhood and adult resilience have typically focused on adaptation to chronic life adversities, such as poverty and maltreatment, or isolated and potentially traumatic events, such as bereavement and serious illness. Here, we present a complementary view and suggest that stressors experienced in daily life may also forecast individual health and well-being. We argue that daily process approaches that incorporate intensive sampling of individuals in natural settings can provide powerful insights into unfolding adaptational processes. In making this argument, we review studies that link intraindividual dynamics with diverse health-related phenomena. Findings from this research provide support for a multiple-levels-analysis perspective that embraces greater unity in pivotal resilience constructs invoked across childhood and adult literatures. Drawing on insights and principles derived from life-span theory, we conclude by outlining promising directions for future work and considering their broader implications for the field of resilience.

从历史上看，对儿童和成人复原力的研究通常侧重于适应长期的生活逆境，如贫困和虐待，或孤立和潜在的创伤性事件，如丧亲和严重疾病。在这里，我们提出了一个互补的观点，并建议日常生活中经历的压力源也可以预测个人的健康和幸福。我们认为，在自然环境中对个体进行密集采样的日常过程方法可以为展开的适应过程提供强有力的见解。在提出这一论点时，我们回顾了将个体动态与多种健康相关现象联系起来的研究。这项研究的结果为多层次分析观点提供了支持，该观点在童年和成人文学中引用的关键弹性结构中包含更大的统一性。借鉴源自寿命理论的见解和原则，我们总结了未来工作的有希望的方向，并考虑了它们对弹性领域的更广泛影响。
