The present study analyzes, in a sample of 54 young women, the
relationships between high or low resilience, measured with the Connor-
Davidson Resilience Scale questionnaire and the Spanish adaptation of
the Resilience Scale, and two indices of psychophysiological and
neuropsychological adaptability, the cardiac defense response (CDR) and
cognitive flexibility. The results showed that the more resilient people, in
addition to having better scores on mental health questionnaires,
obtained better scores in cognitive flexibility than the less resilient
people. Regarding the CDR, both groups showed the typical response
pattern to unexpected intense noise, with two successive accelerationdeceleration
components. However, the more resilient people had a
larger initial acceleration-deceleration, which is indicative of greater
vagal control, than the less resilient people. No significant differences
were found in the second acceleration-deceleration, which is indicative of
sympathetic control. The present findings broaden the understanding of
how resilient people change their adaptable responses to address
environmental demands.
