Abstract
⸠Resilience from the point of view of older people is under-explored. ⸠This qualitative study asks older people from 'deprived' communities in New Zealand about resilience. ⸠Resilience is contextual; a 'positive attitude' is not separate from social and physical contexts that support it. ⸠Resilience is multidimensional; both vulnerability and flourishing work across a range of areas from personal to political.
