Abstract: Variability in adaptation is common among children exposed to early adversity, with a proportion of this group demonstrating adaptive functioning or resilience. The present study aimed to explore variability in adaptive functioning in social competence, mental health, and school adjustment in a sample of children in foster care, and to assess which factors differentiated resilient children (i.e., showing adaptive functioning across domains) from those who were not resilient.
