Abstract
In the communicative theory of resilience (CTR), communication constructs resilience processes that can promote change or continuity during hardship. The enactment of resilience is theorized to depend on available resources. The current study tests this theoretical link in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, examining differences at the intersection of race and gender (N = 588). Job security, education quality, and friend support positively predicted continuity and change resilience. Four differences based on race/gender emerged: necessities negatively predicted continuity resilience for Black men and White women, healthcare and government representation positively predicted continuity resilience for Black women only, and family support positively predicted change resilience for Black women and White men. Findings support CTR's claim that resource access influences resilience enactment and indicate that theoretical associations differ based on race/gender. The current research emphasizes the importance of considering intersectionality in relation to CTR processes and structural barriers to enacting resilience.
