Resilience is an important factor determining how well warriors can cope with stressors during their military service. However, the factors affecting resilience and its manifestation in daily life is not well understood. In the current research, we will use a mobile application and a smart tracking watch to monitor resilience of male and female warriors during their training, and then measure how inhibitory control training improves resilience in these populations. We will also study the differences in resilience and coping with challenges between male and female warriors.
