What is "resilience" in this context? I don't see an explanation

And now many of those pets picked up during the pandemic are in shelters

If you lack resilience, you might dwell on problems, feel victimized, become overwhelmed or turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms, such as substance abuse, eating disorders or risky behaviors

I bet pets loved the pandemic

My cats were over the moon about it. No more rotating feeding schedules, no more exhausted mom, no more days without a seizure buddy. Both of my cats with disorders did so much better. Bean got over her behavioral disorder and her twin sister got more regular physical therapy which improved her mobility and subsequently her mood.
There were some tensions when I had to go back to work, but most of the benefits from my time home have stayed. No regression for either kitty for the most part!

Shenanigans. I'm resilient af, and my dog still benefited my well-being.

Ours too! They like having us home more. Our anxious girl is much more centered now.

> While 95% of pet owners said that their pets offered them emotional comfort, and 88% said their pets had a positive impact on their lives during the pandemic, pet owners did not differ from non-pet owners in their well-being scores. However, among respondents with low resilience, having a pet was tied to higher positive feelings. Those with low resilience disagreed with statements such as “I tend to bounce back quickly after hard times.”

My question is how would they count people who had high resilience who also own pets?

Same, you just can't beat 40% damage reduction....

My dog absolutely saved my sanity during the pandemic. He passed away a couple of months ago which messed with my mental state a lot more than I thought. I've since adopted a new pup and we're getting along good. Pets are the best anti-depressant.

You ser that crazy mf running by the road in a cold rainy morning at five a.m. with his dog? The researchers just drive by him and scream: Get in! Get in the car! And that's it.

Ouch... What a catty, judgemental way of phrasing it.

I adopted my friend's pandemic pup when I found out my friend was going to give him away. I had bonded with the dog, helped with the dog's separation anxiety (a rescue), and completely adore him. I'm still mad at my friend, but my dog still loves him, so, I keep it to myself.

In this case low resilience means is a less pathetic name for pathetic people
JonWinstonCarl t1_j4uwsbr wrote
This study has a lot of assuming phrases built into it, like saying people who love animals are lonely and are "people substituting." I think a much more clear assumption to make from this data would be that people who consider themselves of lower resilience are more conscious of their coping mechanisms.

My dog died a month into the pandemic. My dad, who was very close with that dog, died a few months later. If not for my cat my home would be too quiet now.

I was already wfh, but it's just wonderful serendipity that we got a dog towards the end of January 2020, right when covid was starting to become a household word.

Resilience is how resistant you are to emotional/mental distress and its negative effects, both short term and long term.

Resilience is in destiny now? I remember being in WoW for the longest time i didn’t know destiny has it now

This comment is pretty pathetic
HeroOfTime_99 t1_j4wxx6z wrote
Yeah, there's 6 stats now and have been around for several years. It's Mobility, Resilience, Recovery, Discipline, Intellect, and Strength. Mobility is jump height and strafe speed, resilience is flinch resistance and a bit of damage reduction, recovery is health Regen speed. Discipline is grenade timer, interject is super timer, strength is melee timer. I've been out of the game for about 4 months and I think there's a few nuances I'm missing but that's the gist. It's honestly too much. Endless grind for the sake of endless grind.
