From surviving to thriving: a process–ecological model of psychological resilience in doctoral students
Overview
This paper proposes a process-ecological model of psychological resilience for doctoral students, derived from interviews with 24 Chinese university students. It describes a four-stage developmental pathway involving stress perception, cognitive restructuring, strategy integration, and value transcendence. The resource is intended for researchers or clinicians interested in theoretical frameworks for student mental health rather than direct clinical protocols.
