 abstract={The thesis presents research on the phenomenon of mental resilience in two contexts. First, the mediating role of resilience for the relationship between early trauma and the occurrence of non-clinical depressive and psychotic-like symptoms (PLEs) is analysed. Two mediation models validated on a large sample of 18-35 year old adults are discussed. Model 1 showed that resilience and cognitive biases are significant direct mediators of the relationship between early trauma and severity of depressive symptoms. In Model 2, the direct mediating effect of resilience was significant, although minimal. Given the associations with other mediators, it was concluded that resilience may have an indirect positive effect on severity of mild forms of psychotic psychopathology. Second, the paper presents an examination of cognitive and personality predictors of resilience among individuals prone to developing psychosis. A regression model adjusted for the severity of depressive symptoms was used here. In the model, cognitive functions: attention, processing speed and executive functions were significant, but, it was poorer performance that predicted higher levels of resilience. Verbal memory was found to be non-significant. Higher resilience was related to higher scores of personality dimensions such as reward dependence, self-directedness and autotranscendence.},
