“…In this final trend, studies consider the neuroscience of resilience or the role of genes in mitigating environmental risks, but these studies are only just beginning (see Cicchetti, 2010;Sapienza & Masten, 2011). In addition, more research is integrating the study of resilience across system levels to promote better adaptation of adolescents (Bond et al, 2005;Lee, Kwong, Cheung, Ungar & Cheung, 2010;Leontopoulou, 2006;Li et al, 2007;Salami, 2010). These system levels recognize all aspects of the individual's life as a total entity which affects resilience.…”

The present study examined the relationship between stressors, resilience resources, and well-being in adolescents with low socio-economic status in Malaysia. The specific aims were: (i) to differentiate between resilient and non-resilient adolescents in terms of their resilience resources; and (ii) to examine the role of resilience resources on the relationship between stressors and well-being. In a sample of 197 adolescents aged 12-16 years (mean = 13.77, sd = 1.49), results of the k-mean clustering technique identified 37.5% of the adolescents as resilient (high stressor, high well-being), 31.0% as maladjusted (high stressor, low well-being), and the rest, adapted (low stressor, high well-being). Resilient adolescents were found to have significantly higher scores on all the identified resilience resources (personality, mother-child communication, social support, school coherence, and teacher support) compared to the non-resilient maladjusted group. Results of structural equation modelling also showed that these resilience resources acted both as mediator and moderator in the relationship between stressors and well-being. These findings are discussed with respect to the current literature on resilience and well-being.

“…Self-respect is an evaluation of the information contained in the concept of self (Kılıççı, 2006). In the concept of self, people believe that they are talented, successful, worthy and important (Salami, 2010). Self-respect focuses on the person's need to evaluate himself or positively evaluate himself.…”

Adolescence is a time of rapid development and change. In this developmental period, adolescents have to struggle with a large number of stress factors. In this process resilience is important to have as an adaptive, stress-resistant personal quality. The recent research considers that numerous factors contribute to resilience in adolescents; the internal characteristics associated with resilience include such as self-esteem, self-efficacy, perseverance, internal locus of control, coping and adaptation skills. The purpose of this study is to explore self-esteem and hopelessness as the predictor of resiliency of adolescents. The participants in this study are 223 high school school students (90 females and 133 males). Main instruments are Beck Hopelessness Scale, California Healthy Kids Survey Resilience-Youth Development Module High School Questionnaire and Coopersmith Self-Esteem Scale. The data has been analyzed by regression analysis. The findings showed that self-esteem and hopelessness is a significant predictor of resilience in adolescents. There was a positive relationship between self-esteem and resilience, but there was a negative relationship between hopelessness and resilience. In accordance with the results obtained from this study, there is a correlation between adolescents' self-esteem, hopelessness and resilience levels. Finally, findings warrant further investigation of the interaction effects of self esteem and hopelessness on resilience.

“…Numerous descriptive studies were examined (Werner & Smith, 1982;Masten, 1994;Luthar, Cicchetti & Becker, 2000;Masten, 2001;Greene, 2002;Fergus & Zimmerman, 2005;Ahern, Ark & Byers, 2008;Clinton, 2008;Davis, Luecken & Lemery-Chalfant, 2009;Smith, 2009;Salami, 2010;Wilks & Spivey, 2010;Hanewald, 2011;Rose & Steen, 2015;Coleman, 2015). It has been observed that the studies in Turkey are mostly descriptive (Ogulmus, 2001;Gizir, 2004;Ozcan, 2005;Eminagaoglu, 2006;Karairmak, 2006;Gokden Kaya, 2007;Karairmak, 2007;Dayioglu, 2008;Oktan, 2008;Onder & Gulay, 2008;Sipahioglu, 2008;Terzi, 2008;Oz & Bahadir-Yilmaz, 2009;Bayrakli, 2010;Guloglu & Karairmak, 2010;Kirimoglu, Yildirim & Temiz, 2010;Onat, 2010;Kaner, Bayrakli& Guzeller, 2011;Karairmak & Sivis-Cetinkaya, 2011;, Yilmaz & Sipahioglu, 2012Savi-Cakar, Karatas, Cakir, 2014;Malkoc& Yalcin, 2015).…”

Problem statement: It has been observed that there are a limited number of studies on the resilience of primary and secondary school students in Turkey. However, it is acknowledged that secondary school students with difficult conditions of life also have to cope with rapid physical, psychological and social changes brought about by adolescence. For this reason, conducting research on the resilience characteristics of students within this age range would be an opportunity to enable them to acquire the abilities that will increase their resilience level. Moreover, the findings obtained from this research would contribute to the acknowledgement of protective factors, especially crisis response studies in the fields of psychological counseling and guidance services. Purpose of the Study:The general purpose of this research is to analyze perceived social support, depression and life satisfaction as predictors of the resilience of secondary school students of low socioeconomic levels. The examination of students' levels of resilience was based on gender, who they lived with, and whether their parents were together/separated and were alive/not alive. Method:The study group of the research consists of 386secondary school students. Of the students in the sample, 202 (52%) are girls, and 184 (48%) are boys. Of these students, 130 (34%) attend sixth-grade, 138 (36%) attend
