The term resilience has not been universally defined in the literature and it has both physiologically and psychological definitions. The ability to bounce back to prior level of functioning ( in terms of physical, psychological or both) versus getting through a difficult situation and having a greater sense of mental strength or "grit". I for one do not believe that one passively sits back and decides to be resilient- it's an active, interactive process between brain-body and psyche. I agree that their are cultural differences in definitions and it's vitally important to take that into account. As well as power dynamics in terms of majority/minority status, privilege and economic/social class differences. It's complex for sure but I think that by putting together a measure that perhaps gets at multiple definitions or arenas of resilience we can get at a better overall definition that is more encompassing. In addition, adding neuro- stress-resilience measures/intervention.
