Resilience across a lifespan can happen many different ways from physical development to cognitive development. We also have social and emotional development.

Resilience has also been applied to the impacts of disasters and traumatic experiences in which will also be touched on throughout this paper
Reliability Analysis The reliability analysis of refined model with 25 items and 5 factors was undertaken to verify how strongly the attributes are associated with each other. (Hair et al., 2010). Cronbach’s alpha for the full scale came to be 0.851 .The reliability test is deemed to be acceptable when the Cronbach’s Alpha value exceeds the Nunnally’s reliability criterion of 0.70 level (Hair et al., 2010). Dimension wise the value of Cronbach’s Alpha came to be 0.903 for Personal competence, High
