Abstract

Bowlby J defines resilience as a person's capacity to modify circumstances according to necessities and priorities. Among the characteristics of a highly resilient person is the ability to adapt to certain situations that, among others, would be impossible to live with and could result in withdrawal. Piaget divided behaviours into three groups: Instinct, which is the hereditary adaptation to situations that are repeated; habit, which is the acquired adaptation to situations that are repeated; intelligence, which is the adaptation to new and demanding conditions; consequently, a trial and error experience. Considering that, it is worthwhile to reflect on their basis.
