Özet: Psychological resilience is a multidimensional phenomenon. Rather than being a fixed and unchangeable structure, it is thought to have a variable structure shaped by interaction with the environment. There are several theories in the literature to explain how resilience functions in children and adults, how it is shaped and how it can be supported. It has been seen that Bronfenbrenner's ecological system theory can help explain psychological resilience, taking into account the risks and protective factors. Based on this, the foundations and rationales of this argument are discussed in this study. Risks and stress, definitions of psychological resilience, protective factors, perspective of the ecological system approach to psychological resilience and final conclusions about resilience are given, respectively. In the discussion part, the reasons for why resilience can be explained from an ecological perspective in the literature are given. As a result, it is predicted that the ecological perspective can guide important inferences for understanding and contributing resilience.
