In a unique follow-up study, Hispanic (Dominican American) students identified as resilient 10 years ago were reinterviewed to assess their interim progress, and explore how their educational and professional achievements have evolved over time. By having the students reflect on their beliefs a decade ago and how those beliefs have evolved in light of their academic and professional achievements, the study provides a rare view into the time-sensitive phenomenon of enduring resilience.
En un estudio de seguimiento único, se volvieron a entrevistar estudiantes hispanos (dominico americanos) identificados hace diez años como resistentes, para evaluar su progreso actual y explorar la evolución de sus logros educacionales y profesionales a través del tiempo. Se les pidió a los estudiantes que reflexionaran sobre sus valores de hace una década y cómo esos valores se han desarrollado debido a sus logros académicos y profesionales, el estudio provee una vista rara al fenómeno susceptible al tiempo de fortaleza o resistencia.
