Psychology Masterclass: Understanding Resilience, Adversity & Flourishing

Today, our ISC, IB DP, and IB CP Psychology students attended an insightful masterclass

delivered by Professor Rachna Mishra from Ahmedabad University on the psychological

mechanisms of resilience and flourishing after adversity. Through real-world case study

analysis, students explored how resilience is built through both internal mindsets and external

support systems, along with the application of the socio-ecological model to show why

supportive relationships, safe environments, and meeting basic needs are essential for

individual growth. The session also examined the impact of socio-cultural contexts on coping

mechanisms and concluded with an emphasis on the importance of academic integrity, ethical

attribution, and proper APA 7 citations in psychological research. A huge thank you to

Professor Sinha for an empowering session that bridges academic rigor with real-world impact.
