Option 1: Shortage of Resilience Research on Canadian Aboriginals
Although there is a relatively large body of research on individual resilience factors for African-American individuals, there is very little research on individual resilience factors for Canadian Aboriginal individuals. What factors may put this cultural group at increased risk for poor adjustment? Why is it important to study individual resilience factors in this group? Can you think of any particular challenges to doing research on Canadian Aboriginals?
