How resilient are you? 4-question test and proven strategies from a psychology expert
October 22, 2025
Welcome to our new Contact series, the self-checkout. In these stories, UQ experts will share the central questions we can ask to learn more about ourselves, along with research-backed strategies for personal growth.
For our first instalment, we asked psychology expert Emeritus Professor Kenneth Pakenham from UQ’s School of Psychology to take us on a deep-dive into resilience.
His research and clinical practice spans over 40 years, with a particular focus on the experiences of those dealing with serious and chronic illness – helping them to live fully despite the adversities they face.
