The current paper presents a new measure of trait resilience derived from three common mechanisms identified in ecological theory: Engineering, Ecological and Adaptive (EEA) resilience. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses of five existing resilience scales suggest that the three trait resilience facets emerge, and can be reduced to a 12-item scale. The conceptualization and value of EEA resilience within the wider trait and well-being psychology is illustrated in terms of differing relationships with adaptive expressions of the traits of the five-factor personality model and the contribution to well-being after controlling for personality and coping, or over time. The current findings suggest that EEA resilience is a useful and parsimonious model and measure of trait resilience that can readily be placed within wider trait psychology and that is found to contribute to individual well-being.

In this article the authors describe how creative learning experiences can be developed within the curriculum to enhance employability skills and engage the students in their personal development planning. A novel approach using a subject specific employability exercise and the production of peer critiqued action plans is described along with a summary of studentsââ¬â¢ responses.

El siglo XIX trajo consigo cambios de orden social, político y económico que dieron auge a las relaciones actuales de producción capitalista. Dicha transformación convocó nuevas formas de relacionarse con el presente y las promesas del futuro, donde se puso al cuerpo y las sensaciones en un lugar central. Además, conllevó a establecer nuevas tensiones en la definición de lo humano, debido a que la frontera entre lo natural y lo social fue cada vez más difusa. De este modo, a través de un análisis estructural, evidenciamos cómo ‘El retrato de Dorian Gray’ de Oscar Wilde materializa las ansiedades de esta época moderna y propone una ética por vía estética para el autodesarrollo, así como proporciona una nueva definición de humanidad por medio de su exceso: el monstruo, Dorian Gray. Abstract The 19th century experienced some of the greatest political, economic, and social changes that shaped capitalist relationships as we nowadays know them. This transformation channeled new ways of self-relating to the present and the promises of the future, in which the body and its sensations occupied a central place. Furthermore, it highlighted new difficulties when establishing a definition of “the human”, since the boundaries between what is natural and what is social were increasingly blurred. Having said that, through a structural analysis we seek to understand how Oscar Wilde's Portrait of Dorian Gray materializes the anxieties of this modern age and proposes an aesthetic ethic for self-development, as well as it provides a new definition of humanity through his excess: the monster, Dorian Gray Keywords: anthropological machine, Dorian Gray, modernity.
