Answer to Question 1

Those with disabilities who show resilience may also experience positive growth indicated by reduced anxiety and depression, enhanced well-being, and an uplifting of daily life satisfaction. At risk children who are resilient are said to exhibit patterns of positive adaptation during or following significant adversity or risk.

Answer to Question 2

Changes in happiness due to circumstances tend to be temporary because we generally adjust fairly soon to our new circumstances. This idea known as hedonic adaptation is based on the concept that we are walking on a hedonic treadmill. Though our feet are moving, our happiness levels are not. Can you think of a time when you made a new purchase, say a new car, and were happier for a while? According to this concept, possessing the new car was fun and novel at first, but eventually your life driving the new car became your new normal as you experienced hedonic adaptation.
