ABSTRACT
"Telling stories and adding scores Measuring resilience in young children affected by maternal HIV and AIDS""; demonstrates how a concurrent mixed method design assisted cross-cultural comparison and ecological descriptions of resilience in young South African children; as well as validated alternative ways to measure resilience in young children. In a longitudinal randomised control trial; which investigated psychological resilience in mothers and children affected by HIV/AIDS; we combined a qualitative projective story-telling technique (Duss Fable) with quantitative data (Child Behaviour Checklist). The children mostly displayed adaptive resilience-related behaviours; although maladaptive behaviours were present. Participating children use internal (resolve/agency; positive future expectations; emotional intelligence) and external protective resources (material resources; positive institutions) to mediate adaptation. Children's maladaptive behaviours were exacerbated by internal (limited problem-solving skills; negative emotions) and external risk factors (chronic and cumulative adversity)."
