Neill, James T.; Dias, Katica L.
Journal of Adventure Education and Outdoor Learning, v1 n2 p35-42 2001
All 41 young adults who finished a 22-day Australian Outward Bound program showed large positive changes in resilience scores. Perceived social support was strongly related to resilience gains, with ratings of the least supportive group member being the best predictor. Recommendations concerning group process are offered to group leaders. (Contains 28 references.) (Author/SV)
