Patience Amidst Adversity (with Baylor University, Wake Forest, and University of Riverside)

The Patience in Adversity grant will study patience through asking 6 big questions regarding the: 1) definition of patience, 2) sibling constructs to patience, 3) dynamic processes and the development of patience, 4) person-situation interactions that support purpose formation, 5) functions of patience, and 6) the intentional cultivation of patience. Studying people facing challenges can shed light on what predicts whether a person in adversity develops patience and on the mechanisms by which patience enables a person to act and live well in adversity.
