Abstract: We here establish how individual resilience changed following the economic and health shocks that individuals experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic using COME-HERE panel data covering five European countries. We consider both the incidence and intensity of these shocks. We test two existing models: post-traumatic growth versus that in Graham and Oswald predicting lower resilience after adversity. Our findings support the latter, with the experience of at least one negative shock (job loss, a drop in household income, isolation, or the diagnosis of a mental disorder) during the pandemic reducing future resilience.
