“…This stated that the four psychosocial resources are positively correlated with the two adjustment indices. In support, seven of eight correlations were significant in predicted directions, a finding that is broadly consistent with previous studies (e.g., Birman & Chan, 2008;Chao & Otsuki-Clutter, 2011;Gaylord-Harden et al, 2007;Hall-Lande et al, 2007;Harker, 2001;Wolfradt, Hemple, & Miles, 2003;Nesdale, Rooney, & Smith, 1997). The single non-significant effect, that of ethnic identity on depression, while unexpected, is not entirely at odds with past research showing that ethnic identity is more strongly related to positive wellbeing than to compromised wellbeing (Smith & Silva, 2011).…”

A dolescents who immigrate face particular adjustment challenges. This study investigated (a) levels of wellbeing and depression in migrant adolescents and their Australian native counterparts, (b) associations between adjustment and four psychosocial resources, and (c) moderating effects of country of birth on the relationships between these resources and adjustment indices. The sample (N = 327) included students born in Australia, English-speaking countries other than Australia, and non-Englishspeaking countries. Students born outside of Australia in English-speaking countries reported highest mean levels of wellbeing and ethnic identity. Ethnic identity did not have the expected protective effects on migrant adolescent adjustment. In contrast, a sense of school membership affected Australian-born adolescents more positively than it did their overseas-born peers. The results raise questions regarding sources of support and connectedness that might particularly help migrant adolescents.

“…Specifically, those with a stronger identity have been found to have a clearer commitment and sense of belonging to their group (Roberts et al, 1999). Ethnic identity is a dynamic and complex construct involving exploration and commitment that develops over time (Phinney, 1989) and is a part of a person's inner feelings, daily experiences, and interpersonal interactions (Gaylord-Harden, Ragsdale, Mandera, Richards, & Petersen, 2007). During adolescence, identity formation is a central developmental task (Erikson, 1968), and the development of one's ethnic identity is considered particularly important among ethnic minority youth (Phinney, 1989).…”

“…These would include individual factors like self-efficacy, self-control, coping, or self-regulatory processes as well as communitylevel measures such as neighbourhood or community support. Although studies have argued that these community factors may play a crucial role in adolescents' development (Gaylord-Harden, Ragsdale, Mandara, Richards & Petersen, 2007;Hawkins et al, 2009), they have largely been ignored.…”

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.
