Distribution of and correlations between resilience measures among the analytic sample (N=1,429)

		Absence of Distress	Absence of Distress plus Positive Functioning	Relative Resilience
Resilience Measure	Definition or Determination	r	r	r
Perceived Trait Resilience	Total Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale 10 (CD-RISC 10) sum score; higher scores indicate more resilience	0.354	0.366	0.272
Absence of Distress	Categorizing individuals as resilient based on absence of current clinically elevated depressive and PTSD symptoms, else non-resilient	--	0.691	0.500
Absence of Distress plus Positive Functioning	Categorizing individuals as resilient based on absence of current clinically elevated depressive and PTSD symptoms AND presence of high positive affect, else non-resilient	--	--	0.320
Relative Resilience	Total sum of the inverse of standardized residuals for depressive and PTSD symptoms predicted by continuous child abuse score; inverse residuals indicate better psychological functioning relative to child abuse burden, thus higher scores indicate more resilience	--	--	--

Cell entries are N (percentages) of those classified as “resilient” or mean (standard deviations) for each resilience measure among the entire sample; and Pearson correlation coefficients (r) between each resilience measure. All correlations are statistically significant at p<.05.
