• Students’ perceptions of school climate as determinants of wellbeing, resilience and identity (2016, methodology): “Student resilience was assessed using a modified version of the 15-item Resilience Scale, originally developed by Wagnild and Young (1993) and modified more recently by Neill and Dias (2001).”
• Resilience in Undergraduate Social Work Students: Social Support and Adjustment to Academic Stress (2010, methodology): “The shortened version of the Resilience Scale (S-RS) assesses personality characteristics of the ability to adapt to and overcome adversity (Wagnild and Young, 1993 ; Neill and Dias, 2001 ).”
• The Efficacy of an Outdoor Adventure Education Curriculum on Selected Aspects of Positive Psychological Development (2006, unknown): “This approach represents a development-by-challenge philosophy and provides an underlying justification for OAE (Neill & Dias, 2001).”
• The influence of short-term adventure-based experiences on levels of resilience (2011, result): “The significant difference for the group going on the AE expedition is consistent with previous findings (Ewert & Yoshino, 2008; Neill & Dias, 2001) and suggests that a short-term expedition experience may be influential in enhancing participants’ level of resilience.”
• Conceptualizing adventurous nature sport: A positive psychology perspective (2018, background): “Adventure experiences in particular have been shown to foster resilience, which buffers the impact of stressful life events (e.g. D’Amato and Krasny 2011; Ewert and Yoshino 2011; Neill and Dias 2001).”
• Instructional-Design Theories and Models: Building a Common Knowledge Base. Volume III. (2009, background): “Neill and Dias (2001) found empirical support that the controlled exposure to challenges of this nature increases participants’ psychological resilience, or their capacity to recover aft er life challenges.”
• Resilience amid Academic Stress: The Moderating Impact of Social Support among Social Work Students (2008, background): “…revealed a 15-item Resilience Scale (RS15) that solicits data on positively stated self-descriptions relating to the psychological characteristic of resilience, i.e., the capacity for successful adaptation following exposure to stressful life events (Werner, 1989, as cited in Neill & Dias, 2001).”
