Abstract
As an introduction to this special issue, we define resilience as the capacity of a dynamic system to adapt successfully to threatening circumstances, and we briefly note the history of resilience studies as embedded within the broader field of developmental science. We then elaborate on four developmental principles central for the study of resilience and highlight the importance of early adolescence as a developmental period of particular opportunity for change. Finally, we introduce the five articles of this special issue, each of which presents exciting new work on resilience processes during early adolescence and speaks to aspects of core developmental principles of resilience science.

Author Biographies
J. J. Cutuli, PhD, is an assistant professor in psychology at Rutgers University–Camden. His research involves the developmental processes of resilience for children, youth, and families who experience high levels of adversity, such as homelessness, maltreatment, and poverty. He focuses on protective factors that are common in the lives of individuals that do well, and the processes through which those factors result in positive adaptation.
Janette E. Herbers, PhD, is an assistant professor in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Villanova University. Her research considers risk and resilience in child development, seeking to understand how children adapt to adverse circumstances such as trauma, poverty, and homelessness, and how positive parenting, child self-regulation skills, service environments, and targeted intervention programs can support healthy development in contexts of risk.
