Proactive. Resilient people, rather than simply
reacting to a change, actively engage it. They
tend to have an internal locus of control where
they believe that they have the capacity and the
responsibility to determine their own destiny vs.
feeling powerless in a given situation. Resilient
people, as a result, focus on expanding their
influence over a change through assertive
behaviors and actions. This proactivity enables
them to preserve their self-efficacy in the face of
any change — even a traumatic one.
