Significant factors of Type-1 and Type-2 resilience

This Venn diagram illustrates the statistically significant factors (p < 0.05) that contribute to Type-1 and Type-2 resilience among older adults in rural China. Type-1 resilience is operationalized as the residuals of life satisfaction on adversity, whereas Type-2 resilience refers to the residuals of depressive symptoms on adversity. The left circle presents factors that predict Type-1 resilience, the right circle those for Type-2 resilience, and the overlapping area shows predictors common to both resilience types. Notably, ‘Access to geriatric care services’ is not depicted due to its statistically significant negative impact on resilience
