Which of the following is NOT listed as a factor influencing resilience?

• A. Genetics
• B. Supportive relationships
• C. Positive outlook
• D. Dietary fiber intake

Answer: (D)

Resilience comes from a mix of biological, social, and psychological resources that help a person adapt to stress. Genetics can shape how our bodies and minds respond to risk and recover from adversity. Supportive relationships provide emotional and practical backing that buffers against stress. A positive outlook influences how we appraise challenges and mobilize effective coping strategies. Dietary fiber intake, while important for physical health, isn’t typically cited as a resilience factor in most models; it doesn’t directly bolster the mental processes or social resources that underpin resilience, even though good nutrition supports overall functioning. So the option mentioning dietary fiber intake is the one that isn’t a resilience factor.
