Researchers find it difficult to disaggregate elements of risk. The interactive risk model undergirds the person-process-context configuration used to explain human adaptation (see Chapter 3). The interactive model facilitates the appropriation of a resiliency construct. Strength and hardiness, features of resilience, can be observed in transactions that occur in certain ecological domains, such as family, peers, and school.
Thus, a sense of selfefficacy is attained. While the three conceptual risk models may well overlap, I proposed that the person-process-context paradigm is one that directly deals with the transactional nature of the person and environment and is itself a type of interactive model. Seemingly, in the interactive model, protective factors can be more transparent. By and large this is due to the intersubjective process elements involved in the transaction of person and environment context. Relatedly, a more recent development in risk research is the study of protective factors that are considered to counteract or buffer extreme risk effects (Garmezy, 1993).
