"Thriving, the phenomenon of going thr ough an adversity and emerging “better off , ” has been relatively understudied in the field of psychology. Closely related to, but distinct from resilience, in which individual s overcome an adversity and return to normal development (Garmezy, 1993), thriving has not been explored in - depth and in particular, understudied with Latino/a college students. Latino/a college students stand to benefit from exploring strengths that contribute to their ability to thrive given the number and magnitude of adversities they often face. The current study investigate d thriving in Latino/a undergraduate students. A nalys is of q ualitative interviews through Consensual Qualitative Research (CQR; Hill, Thompson & Williams, 1997) revealed adversities experienced ( e.g., family discord and cultural difficulties ) , methods of thriving (e.g., cognitive coping, cultural values, fai th, resources , social support and perseverance ), and gains from the experience (e.g., improved self - concept , improved relationships, and increased knowledge base ). Implications, limitations, and future directions are discussed."
