520 |a Cross-cultural workers are vulnerable to a number of stressors and traumatic events while on assignment. However, environmental factors, agency support, family life, instances of sexual harassment, and overall resilience in adverse circumstances may be experienced differently by men and women. This study examined the role of gender in resilience for international cross-cultural workers serving as missionaries. An adapted Deployment Risk and Resilience Inventory, 2nd edition (DRRI-2) and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) were used to collect data from 268 cross-cultural workers. Females reported statistically significantly greater difficulty living in the cross-cultural environment, less perceived support from their team and agency, a greater number of negative family events, and a lower level of overall resilience than males. Males reported significantly higher levels of concern about life and family disruptions. Gender-specific counseling implications and suggestions for future research into the impact of gender on cross-cultural work are highlighted.
