Abstract
This article summarizes the literature on resilience to stress and aging. Key concepts and definitions of resilience are identified, and psychosocial and biological factors contributing to resilience that are universal across ages, as well as those that are unique to aging, are reviewed. Current and potentially useful intervention approaches to promote resilience and wellbeing are also reviewed. Views on future directions in resilience research and interventions targeting resilience are offered.
