Strengths and virtues and the development of resilience: A qualitative study in Suriname during a time of economic crisis.

CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that religiousness is the bedrock strength for the development of resilience in Suriname. We recommend that future positive psychological interventions in non-Western countries integrate positive activities with religious elements into program interventions to achieve a better cultural fit.
