According to the model proposed by Hurtes & Allen (2001), it is possible to mark out a typical resilient profile characterized by
specific psychological dimensions: the «insight», that is the ability to understand people, situations and their communication; the «independence», consisting in the attitude to care for others while remaining true to own self; the «creativity» that allows to cope daily challenges through the generation of alternative solutions; the «sense of humor», referring to ability to poke fun themselves and to find joy in own context; the «initiative», that is, a desire to pursue proactively own life; the «supportive relationships», in terms of the ability to establish positive relationships with the others; and, finally, the «
values orientation» that allows to identify the morally right and appropriate behavior.
