Resilience and prosocial behaviour in Spanish care professionals of dependent persons.

Professional residential care providers face several stressors due to the burden of caring for dependent people. This burden may affect the way in which care is carried out. Resilience, as personal strengths, may help them to be more effective in their workplace and in their interaction with patients, and this may be related to the development of participation skills and prosocial behaviours. A total of 125 professional's caregivers from Spain responded to the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale Resilience Scale and the PB new Prosocial Conduct Scale over the years 2018 and 2019. We checked the predictive power of resilience as well as other predictors (sex, type of contract and total months worked in professional caregiving) on prosocial behaviour in caregivers' professionals with multiple regression analysis. Results showed resilience as the only significant predictor, explaining 21% of the variance in prosocial behaviour (R2 =0.21, F(5, 115)=6.16, p < 0.001). This indicates that resilience is a variable prediction of prosocial behaviour in health and social professionals. Resilience gets in the individual the capacity to be attentive to give answers in certain situations, being a predictor of great relevance of the prosocial behaviours. Thus, it is necessary to deepen the research on professional caregivers to be able to train and empower them in skills that improve their quality of life and by strength, that of dependent people.

Meeting challenges with resilience – How innovation projects deal with adversity

Innovation project management is never easy—adversities like budget cuts, fluctuation, and conflicts constantly patter project teams. Recent events of the corona pandemic further complicate matters with restrictions, lockdowns, and uncertainty. This situation urges project leaders and companies to find ways to deal with adverse conditions and simultaneously pursue ambitious project goals. The concept of resilience offers a promising approach for the individual and the project team to deal with adversities. Innovation resilience behaviour aims to enable project teams to identify whether a project is getting off-track and to get it back on track again. This study empirically investigates the relationship between innovation resilience behaviour, project adversities, and project success using 87 innovation project teams. The results show that innovation resilience behaviour positively relates to project success. We further find evidence that innovation resilience behaviour becomes more critical when adversity increases.

THE IMPORTANCE OF POSITIVE FACTORS IN PROTECTING MENTAL HEALTH AND SUICIDAL BEHAVIOR AMONG CITIZENS OF THE PORTUGUESE LANGUAGE COUNTRIES (CPLC)

Introduction: When it comes to mental health, traditional research has been revolving around risk factors and their repercussions on mental health. On the other hand, understanding positive factors underlies prevention strategies of self-improvement of these skills, and social and clinical interventions necessary to maintain good health and well-being. Social support, self-esteem and resilience have been the focus of several studies of this scope, having been associated with better mental health outcomes and lower suicidal behaviors. Objectives: With this study, our objectives are to assess the importance of social support, self-esteem and resilience in protecting mental health and suicidal behavior, to determine differences between countries of residence, to assess levels of association between variables, as well as determining the effect of sociodemographic variables, country of residence, social support, self-esteem and resilience in predicting mental health and suicidal behavior. Method: In this study participated 1006 citizens of the Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLC), between 18 and 80 years of age (mean = 41.76; SD = 14.19). 40.7% of the participants lived in Brazil, 29.9% lived in the ACPOL and 29.4% were from Portugal. For this study, we included a sociodemographic questionnaire that asked about the participants’ age, country of residence, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, professional status, educational attainment, socioeconomic status and marital status. To identify the presence of psychological symptoms (depression, anxiety, or somatization) and thus measure participants’ mental health, we utilized the Brief Symptom Inventory-18 (BSI-18). To assess suicidal behavior, we included the Suicidal Behaviors Questionnaire – Revised (SBQ-R). To check for social support (family, friends and significant others), the Portuguese version of the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) was utilized. To measure self-esteem, we utilized the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES). To measure resilience, we utilized the Conner-Davidson Resilience Scale–10 (CD-RISC-10). A website was created for the purpose of the investigation, to disseminate the questionnaire online through mailing lists and social media, from May to October 2021, using a convenience sample method. Results: The results showed statistically significant differences between the CPLC countries for social support, self-esteem, resilience, mental health, and suicidal behavior. The positive factors were negatively correlated with mental health and suicidal behavior. When added to sociodemographic variables, social support, self-esteem, and resilience are good predictors of both mental health and suicidal behavior. Conclusion: We concluded that, as previously shown in other studies, social support, self-esteem, and resilience all constitute protective factors for mental health and suicidal behaviors. Self-esteem took on an especially relevant role, possibly due to its moderating effect in positive life outcomes, less prevalence of psychological symptomatology and general mental well-being, since a strong sense of self-esteem is also linked to better locus of control and higher personal psychological resources to handle adversity.

Experimental and numerical study on seismic performance of precast segmental CFST bridge columns with non-uniform prestressed steel tendons

A precast segmental concrete-filled steel tube (PSCFST) bridge column set with non-uniform (external and internal) prestressed post-tensioned (PT) steel strands was proposed, then the seismic performance of this type of bridge column was researched in this paper. The external prestressed steel strands are arranged on the outside of the bridge column to provide re-centering force, which can facilitate to observe the damage state of the PT tendons and be rapidly replaced. Pseudo static test was carried out on three scaled specimens, including a reference monolithic reinforced concrete (MRC) column and two PSCFST columns. The test results showed that both PSCFST columns have good seismic and resilience performance, with no visible damage and little residual displacement. The PSCFST column with external and internal PT strands shows better self-centering performance. The external prestressed steel strand will yield earlier than the internal, so it can be used as an early damage warning device for the PSCFST column. Then, a detailed finite-element (FE) model was established and validated using the test specimen. The finite element calculation results are in good agreement with the experimental results, indicating that good applicability of the established FE model. Furthermore, based on the validated FE model, the non-uniform arrangement position and initial prestress level of the prestressed PT steel strand were analyzed. That is, analysis was conducted to investigate the seismic and resilience behaviors of the PSCFST specimen with different arrangements of PT strands and different ratios of initial prestress of the internal and external PT strands. Analytical results indicated that increasing the initial prestress value of the external steel strand can increase the bearing capacity of the PSCFST specimens, while the initial prestress of the external prestressed steel strand has little effect on the initial stiffness, drift ratio, or accumulative energy dissipation. Furthermore, allocating more external PT strands can increase the bearing capacity and initial stiffness of the PSCFST specimen, while decreasing the drift ratio.

The integrative approach in the study of resilience in female entrepreneurship

Purpose This paper aims to understand resilience in entrepreneurial behavior and the major adversities faced by women entrepreneurs and identify theoretical and empirical bases that support the use of the integrative approach as appropriate to studies of resilience in women entrepreneurs. Design/methodology/approach In this exploratory-theoretical study, the authors adopted a narrative review of the literature on Female Entrepreneurship, Business and Resilience. The databases researched were: Web of Science, Social Citation Index and Scopus, of which 52 were submitted to analysis through techniques of comparison and contrast between theory, classical studies and applied research. Findings The study illuminates the concept of resilience aligned with entrepreneurship and the major adversities of female entrepreneurship. It also indicates the competence of the integrative approach in investigating and analyzing resilience as a complex, functional and emotional phenomenon between women entrepreneurs and their business environment. Research limitations/implications This study indicates that the integrative approach can offer an explanatory device about the relationships between affectivity and cognition in the resilient behavior of women when encountering difficulties in the entrepreneurial process. It also indicates paths for future research that can empirically prove the degree of these constructs in the resilient behavior of women entrepreneurs, having the difficulties related to the gender stereotype as a point of interest. Practical implications The contribution to the managerial field is to alert women entrepreneurs about the need to understand the role of affectivity and cognition in facing adversity to strengthen their resilient behavior. Social implications The contribution to the managerial field is to alert women entrepreneurs about the need to understand the role of affectivity and cognition in facing adversity to strengthen their resilient behavior. Originality/value This study provides original evidence that cognitive and affective aspects influence women’s entrepreneurial behavior with the same degree of importance. Therefore, they must be investigated jointly. This discovery brings relevance to theoretical and empirical studies on this topic.

Resilience during times of enduring challenge: Brazilian Child Protection Professionals' resilience and psychological distress one year into the COVID-19 pandemic

BackgroundThe impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Child Protection Professionals (CPPs) was widespread. Evidence regarding how those professionals dealt with the pandemic adversities and consequences for their wellbeing are scarce. ObjectiveWe sought to analyze whether predictors of resilience had changed one year into the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil. Specifically, we explored the resiliency of CPPs as the stress of the pandemic evolved from an acute stressor to a more chronic and persistent stressor. Participants and setting263 CPPs from the five regions of Brazil engaged in this study. Participants had a mean age of 40 years and, on average, 13 years of experience in their field. MethodsCPPs were recruited between March and April of 2021 via professional social media outlets to complete an online survey. CPPs answered questions regarding their perceptions of their work conditions, psychological distress, and resilience. Survey questions were adopted from a prior survey distributed in 2020. ResultsWe replicated findings from our earlier study in the pandemic: A model of CPPs' resilient behaviors showed good indices of fit even one year into the pandemic. Despite this, paths related to individual importance for personal resilient behavior were not significant in this model. Unmet resilient needs significantly predicted general psychological distress. ConclusionsCPPs revealed some changing resiliency needs as the pandemic progressed. Results revealed that meeting resilience-related needs is key to decreasing the psychological distress of this population. This work adds to the literature on the understudied topic of CPPs' psychological distress and resilience during international challenges.

Weakened section detailing for scoured/elevated pile groups in sands toward post-earthquake resilient behavior: Quasi-static tests

Scoured or elevated pile-group foundations in coastal regions may experience noticeable residual deformation after strong earthquakes, leading to the loss of functionality and even collapse of the supported structures. To address this problem, a weakened section detailing, which is characterized by a large cover-thickness across a pile-length beneath the cap, is proposed to release constraints on the pile/pile-cap interface, and thereby reduce the residual deformation and meanwhile mitigate underground pile damage. To demonstrate the effectiveness of this section detailing, a pair of quasi-static tests were designed and conducted on two scaled specimens representing scoured pile-group foundations, one with the weakened section detailing and the other with the conventional one, under laterally cyclic loads that mimic horizontal earthquake loading. Test results are interpreted in terms of (1) structural failure mechanisms including damage modes and ductility capacity, and (2) post-earthquake resilient behavior reflected by residual deformation. Compared with the conventional one, the results well demonstrate the feasibility of the weakened section in reducing residual cap deformation (by as large as 34% and 80% for the translational and rotational deformation, respectively, at the ultimate state), mitigating underground damage, and improving ductility capacity under earthquake conditions, while almost maintaining the compression, shear and bending capacities under normal operational conditions. The test results also indicate a need to enhance the seismic shear capacity of the weakened section.

Behavioural and dopaminergic signatures of resilience.

Chronic stress can have lasting adverse consequences in some individuals, yet others are resilient to the same stressor1,2. Susceptible and resilient individuals exhibit differences in the intrinsic properties of mesolimbic dopamine (DA) neurons after the stressful experience is over3-8. However, the causal links between DA, behaviour during stress and individual differences in resilience are unknown. Here we recorded behaviour in mice simultaneously with DA neuron activity in projections to the nucleus accumbens (NAc) (which signals reward9-12) and the tail striatum (TS) (which signals threat13-16) during social defeat. Supervised and unsupervised behavioural quantification revealed that during stress, resilient and susceptible mice use different behavioural strategies and have distinct activity patterns in DA terminals in the NAc (but not the TS). Neurally, resilient mice have greater activity near the aggressor, including at the onset of fighting back. Conversely, susceptible mice have greater activity at the offset of attacks and onset of fleeing. We also performed optogenetic stimulation of NAc-projecting DA neurons in openloop (randomly timed) during defeat or timed to specific behaviours using real-time behavioural classification. Both open-loop and fighting-back-timed activation promoted resilience and reorganized behaviour during defeat towards resilience-associated patterns. Together, these data provide a link between DA neural activity, resilience and resilience-associated behaviour during the experience of stress.

A topology-based evaluation of resilience on urban road networks against epidemic spread: Implications for COVID-19 responses.

Road closure is an effective measure to reduce mobility and prevent the spread of an epidemic in severe public health crises. For instance, during the peak waves of the global COVID-19 pandemic, many countries implemented road closure policies, such as the traffic-calming strategy in the UK. However, it is still not clear how such road closures, if used as a response to different modes of epidemic spreading, affect the resilient performance of large-scale road networks in terms of their efficiency and overall accessibility. In this paper, we propose a simulation-based approach to theoretically investigate two types of spreading mechanisms and evaluate the effectiveness of both static and dynamic response scenarios, including the sporadic epidemic spreading based on network topologies and trajectory-based spreading caused by superspreaders in megacities. The results showed that (1) the road network demonstrates comparatively worse resilient behavior under the trajectory-based spreading mode; (2) the road density and centrality order, as well as the network's regional geographical characteristics, can substantially alter the level of impacts and introduce heterogeneity into the recovery processes; and (3) the resilience lost under static recovery and dynamic recovery scenarios is 8.6 and 6.9%, respectively, which demonstrates the necessity of a dynamic response and the importance of making a systematic and strategic recovery plan. Policy and managerial implications are also discussed. This paper provides new insights for better managing the resilience of urban road networks against public health crises in the post-COVID era.

The resilient potential behaviours in an Internal Medicine Department: Application of resilience assessment grid.

The healthcare system is frequently subject to unpredictable conditions such as organisational changes and pandemics. In order to perform as required under these conditions (i.e. exhibiting resilient behaviour), it is necessary to know the current position of the organisation with respect to the four resilient potentials i.e. respond, monitor, learn and anticipate. The study aimed to understand and assess resilient performance of an Internal Medicine Department in a public hospital in Denmark using the resilience assessment grid (RAG). A modified Delphi method was used to develop the context specific RAG, using interviews to generate items, two rounds of expert panel reviews and pilot testing the developed RAG questionnaire. The four sets of structured RAG questions were tested and revised until satisfactory face and content validity for application was achieved. The final version of the RAG (28-item Likert scale) questionnaire was sent electronically to 87 healthcare professionals (clinicians and managers) in January 2021 and 2022. The data was statistically analysed and illustrated in radar charts to assist in interpreting the resilience profiles. While the resilience profiles in 2021 and 2022 were similar, the scores in 2022 were slightly lower for some of the sub-indicators. The results indicate areas for improvement, especially related to the Internal Medicine Department's potential to respond and learn. The results from the RAG were presented to the chief clinical consultants and managers to identify initiatives for quality improvement and for planning a new workflow at the Internal Medicine Department. The RAG is a managerial tool to assess the potential resilient performance of the organisation in respect to the four resilience potentials, i.e., responding, monitoring, learning, and anticipating. It can be used to construct the resilience profile of the system over time to manage organisational changes.

Effects of carbon black on epoxidized natural rubber composites: Rheological, abrasion, and mechanical study

A detailed analysis of the rubber composites is necessary for the designing and fabrication of advanced rubber products. In this study, composite materials are synthesized by adding different nanofillers of carbon black nanoparticles into epoxidized natural rubber (ENR). The specific characteristics of carbon black (CB) affect the crosslinking density between CB and polymeric chains in ENR. The effects of particle size, structure, thermal conductivity, and functionality of CB on rheology and mechanical properties of filled reinforced ENR are examined. The composite materials are thoroughly characterized for their abrasion, rheology, tensile, hardness, elongation, resilience, and compression behavior. The results revealed that various properties of composite materials depend on the characteristics of the reinforcing CB fillers. It was found that lower particle size and ordered structure provide good tensile strength, tear strength, abrasion, and aging resistance. In contrast, larger particle size and a lower ordered structure provide high flow rate, low hardness, excellent re-bounce, and good compression set characteristics.

Permanent and resilient deformation behaviour of recycled concrete aggregates from different sources, in pavement base and subbase

This paper presents an investigation on the permanent and resilient deformation behaviour as well as the shear and physical properties of different RCA, sourced from demolished buildings (RCAB1 and RCAB2) and concrete pavement (RCAP). Monotonic triaxial tests and repeated load triaxial tests (RLTT) were performed to determine respectively their failure resistance and the cyclic behaviour, modelled with the Boyce model and the DBGSP model. In addition, the physical properties and water absorption kinetics of aggregates were studied and compared with the existing standard. The results indicated that all RCA have admissible physical properties and can be used in pavement base and subbase layer. However, the RLTT revealed that the use of concrete wastes with low strength and containing high amount of rounded particles (RCAP in this study) can lead to poor performance of pavement, which should be limited in the pavement construction.

A Systematic Review of Mechanisms Underpinning Psychological Change Following Nature Exposure in an Adolescent Population.

This systematic review aimed to identify mechanisms of psychological change following exposure to nature within an adolescent population. Keyword searches within Scopus, PsychINFO and Web of Science were carried out to include articles published by 14 September 2021. Records were reviewed in line with inclusion criteria: samples with an average age of 24 and under, exposure to nature vs. control using an experimental or quasi-experimental design and outcomes of mental health and psychological status. The review resulted in 27 papers that were assessed for methodological quality and manually searched for mediation analyses. A range of psychological outcomes were identified and grouped into 10 categories: Mood and Affect, Mental Health, Wellbeing, Perceived Restoration, Stress, Energy, Cognitive Functioning, Resilience, Self-Concept and Pro-Social Behaviour. Only one formal mediation analysis was reported, highlighting a mediating role of belonging in increases in resilience. Limitations include the majority use of university student samples and over half of the papers being of low methodological quality. No firm conclusions on key mechanisms in an adolescent population were made due to insufficient evidence of mediating variables. The development of methodologically rigorous experimental studies with the inclusion of statistical pathway modelling is needed to test and specify plausible mechanisms.

The plant cytoskeleton takes center stage in abiotic stress responses and resilience.

Stress resilience behaviours in plants are defensive mechanisms that develop under adverse environmental conditions to promote growth, development and yield. Over the past decades, improving stress resilience, especially in crop species, has been a focus of intense research for global food security and economic growth. Plants have evolved specific mechanisms to sense external stress and transmit information to the cell interior and generate appropriate responses. Plant cytoskeleton, comprising microtubules and actin filaments, takes a center stage in stress-induced signalling pathways, either as a direct target or as a signal transducer. In the past few years, it has become apparent that the function of the plant cytoskeleton and other associated proteins are not merely limited to elementary processes of cell growth and proliferation, but they also function in stress response and resilience. This review summarizes recent advances in the role of plant cytoskeleton and associated proteins in abiotic stress management. We provide a thorough overview of the mechanisms that plant cells employ to withstand different abiotic stimuli such as hypersalinity, dehydration, high temperature and cold, among others. We also discuss the crucial role of the plant cytoskeleton in organellar positioning under the influence of high light intensity.

Resilient modulus of crushed stone material reinforced with geogrids

Unbound base layers can be stabilized with geogrids that reduce lateral movement of granular material thus improving its stiffness through particle interlocking inside geogrid openings. Good particles-geogrid interlocking depends significantly on the ratio of geogrid aperture size to the average soil particle size. This paper describes testing of a resilient modulus and a permanent deformation of geogrid reinforced granular material. Biaxial and triaxial geogrids made with 3D printer were used in which geogrids were of different aperture sizes and rib thickness. It was thus possible to test parametrically the effect of geogrid geometry and rib stiffness on the resilient behaviour and permanent deformations. Experiments were conducted on cylindrical specimens of 160 mm diameter and 320 mm height and were reinforced with one or several layers of geogrids. The results of cyclic triaxial tests for unreinforced and reinforced specimens with created geogrids are presented in the paper, as well as the results of the previous research on commercially available geogrids. It is observed from the presented results that resilient behaviour of the tested granular material was not improved with the use of geogrids, while geogrids gave certain improvement with respect to permanent deformations. Presented research is a part of the ongoing project at the University of J.J. Strossmayer in Osijek and the Slovenian National Building and Civil Engineering Institute.

Partially-drained deformation properties of anisotropically overconsolidated clay by triaxial tests with cyclic confining pressure

The subgrade clay in situ may be anisotropically overconsolidated, the traffic-induced dynamic stress field on the subgrade clay can be simulated more accurately by the simultaneous application of cyclic axial stress and cyclic confining pressure by the VCP test, and the partially drained condition represents a more appropriate field scenario for the cyclic response of subgrade clays under long-term traffic loading. To mimic the coupling of the above factors, this study performed a large number of cyclic triaxial tests on a overconsolidated clay in partially drained condition. The ratio of the radial consolidation stress to vertical consolidation stress (K), cyclic stress ratio (CSR) and the ratio of cyclic deviatoric stress amplitude to cyclic mean principal stress amplitude (ηampl) are proposed, and their effects on the partially-drained permanent and resilient deformation behaviors of saturated clay are investigated. Test results show that the increase of consolidation-induced anisotropy (i.e., the decrease of K) leads to a remarkable increase of permanent axial strain, while it induces a first slight growth and then a decrease of permanent volumetric strain. Based on the shakedown theory, the allowable cyclic stress ratio separating the shakedown ranges of metastable and stable is determined, and it is unrelated to either K or ηampl. The effects of ηampl on the permanent axial strain are related to the shakedown range, and a uniform linear relationship is established between the permanent volumetric strain and cyclic mean principal stress amplitude. The anisotropically overconsolidated clay produces stiffness hardening in partially drained condition, in which the increase of both CSR and ηampl promote the hardening. It is suggested the prediction and control of subgrade clay settlement in engineering practice should consider all the factors involved in this study.

Extra Role Behavior in Generation Z Employees Reviewing from Social Support, Resilience and Work Engagement Aspects

This study aims to examine the effect of social support, resilience, and work engagement on extra-role behavior in generation Z. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey model, to explain the effect of social support (X2), resilience (X1), and work engagement (X3) on Extra Role Behavior (Y), using a sample of Generation Z. The number of respondents as many as 288 respondents, who met the requirements and in accordance with the research objectives, examined the behavior of Generation Z with a population spread over big cities in Indonesia, who are relatively new to the world of work, the age of the respondents is approx. age 23 to 25 years, this is according to the reference of Generation Z, born 1996-2009 (Codrington &amp; Sue Grant-Marshall, 2004). Sample selection was done randomly and data analysis using PLS Structure Equation Model (SEM). The results of the study found that social support had a positive effect on work engagement; social support has no significant negative effect on extra-role behavior; resilience has a significant positive effect on work engagement; Resilience has a significant positive effect on extra-role behavior. And lastly, work engagement has a significant positive effect on extra-role behavior. This study opens the study for further research on social support which has a negative and insignificant effect on extra-role behavior in Generation Z. Keywords: extra role behavior, social support, work engagement, resilience

Shake Table Tests of Self-Centering Steel Braced Frame with Pretensioned Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymers

ABSTRACT Shake table tests were conducted on a three-story steel braced frame with pretensioned basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) under the mainshock and aftershock sequences. The BFRPs were firstly tested to evaluate their dynamic behaviors. Then the self-centering braced frame was excited to a series of scaled earthquakes whose PGAs range from 0.2 g to 1.2 g. Through the pinned connections in the tested frame, the self-centering braces (SCBs) with pretensioned BFRPs were the standalone components to dissipate the seismic energy. The results revealed that the BFRPs with slight performance degradation were suitable to provide the restoring force for SCBs even under the strongest earthquake intensity. SCBs with pretensioned BFRPs were efficient in preventing damage and reducing the residual drift ratios. Although the aftershock slightly amplified the accelerations of the tested frame, the self-centering braced frame with pretensioned BFRPs presented similar drift ratios under the aftershock and separate mainshock with the same PGA. Therefore, the self-centering steel braced frame with pretensioned BFRPs has favorable resilient seismic behaviors and could quickly restore its functions after a strong mainshock-aftershock sequence.

The Mediating Effect of Adaptive Behavior of Teachers on the Relationship Between Resilience and Job Performance

The study investigated the mediating effect of adaptive behavior on the relationship between Resilience and job performance among public elementary school teachers. The sample comprised 310 general elementary teachers in Kiblawan District, Davao del Sur. Questionnaires using a 5-point Lickert scale were administered by the researcher. In the statistical analysis, adaptive behavior was the mediating variable, and the result was high. At the same time, Resilience was identified as the independent variable and had a high level. Job performance was the dependent variable due to the high level also. Path Analysis was used to establish the relationships among the variables. Results showed that Resilience and adaptive behavior are positively correlated, and the connection is significant.Similarly, adaptive behavior and job performance have a positive causal relationship, and the association is also significant. Likewise, Resilience and job performance also have a meaningful relationship and are positively correlated. Findings also revealed that adaptive behavior partially mediates the relationship between strength and job performance, such that the overall influence of Resilience on job performance is transmitted through adaptive behavior. In contrast, the widespread impact can be explained, either through direct or through mediation, by other variables that were not included in the established model of the study. This implies that Resilience influences adaptive behavior, which affects job performance.

Mapping the knowledge frontiers of public risk communication in disaster risk management

Public risk communication (PRC) emerged as an interdisciplinary field in response to the need for integrative approaches to cope with individual resilience and adaptive behavior during emergencies, promoting a government or stakeholder-public dyad approach and providing policy and institutional frameworks. Research on PRC is fast developing into a diverse knowledge domain from a descriptive and theoretical approach to an empirical approach and diverse theories relating to risk and disaster management. However, scholars’ diverse philosophical ideas and multifarious research can inhibit interdisciplinary discourse and hamper practical implications. This integrative review analysis of research in PRC from different interdisciplinary involved bibliometric analysis and content analysis of 819 articles from the Web of Science Core Collection database. The study aims to ascertain the development trends in this field. The bibliometric analysis and systematic review were conducted to identify the knowledge patterns. The findings illustrate the mappings of the trend and emergence of PRC, contribution analysis and address a macroview of risk communication in disaster management, providing an in-depth understanding of scholarly contributions by summarising previous studies, milestones and frontiers. It also identifies several research gaps such as limitations on cross-cultural comparisons addressing risk communication, perceptions and behaviors in making causality claim, geographical diversity in risk communication and so forth. And provides a deeper understanding of the emerging trend in this field of study. The article concludes by proposing and discussing future research for further advancement of this discipline.
