Cognitive Resilience and Vulnerability to Socioeconomic Disadvantage: Predictors Across Individual, Family, School, and Neighborhood Contexts.

ABSTRACT: Though much research links socioeconomic disadvantage to cognitive difficulties during adolescence, many youth demonstrate resilience. Person-centered approaches can be used to quantify this developmental heterogeneity and challenge deficit-centered frameworks.

Four profiles were identified based on their access to socioeconomic resources (SER) and multi-domain cognitive functioning, including two profiles characterized by moderate-to-high SER (74.5%) and two profiles characterized by low SER (2
