  • Understanding resilience in adolescence is crucial for identifying at-risk individuals.
  • Further research is needed to define resilience in this age group.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the meaning of resilience from the perspective of adolescents.
  • To assess the accuracy of the Resiliency Scale in measuring adolescent resilience.

Main Methods:

  • A pilot study employed a triangulated research design with 51 10th and 11th graders.
  • Data collection included a demographic tool, Wagnild and Young's Resiliency Scale, focus groups, interviews, and written stories.

  • Phenomenological data was gathered to understand adolescents' lived experiences of resilience.

    • Main Results:

    • Adolescents in a high-adversity environment self-identified as resilient.
    • Their definition of resilience involved disconnection, isolation due to lack of trust and support, and emotional insulation.
    • Despite challenging circumstances, participants reported high levels of perceived resilience.

    Conclusions:

    • The study highlights a potentially unhealthy perception of resilience among adolescents.
    • It raises questions about whether perceived resilience is a truly adaptive state.
    • Further investigation is needed to determine if interventions should differ for "resilient" versus "vulnerable" adolescents.
