Abstract
This article reports the relationships between resilience, demographic char acteristics, immigration demands, and depression in a sample of 450 adult R ussian immigrants to Israel. Contrary to theories of how resilience is rela ted to psychological outcomes, no support was found for resilience modifyin g or mediating the relationship between the demands of immigration and depr ession. Resilience did, however increase the risk of not being depressed by about two-fold (p < .0001).
