Abstract

To determine the factors on which educators should focus to favor resilience development in adolescence, this study tests two predictive models of the hypothetical relationships between two kinds of predictors – coping styles and resiliency personality factors – and resilience as criterion. A total of 1078 Spanish children (12–18 years old) from four different Spanish schools participated in the study. In order to determine to what extent the variables in the model predict resilience, four path analyses with latent variables (PALV) were performed: two for testing each model, and the remaining two for cross-validation. Results showed that perceived improvement in resilience depends mainly on coping strategies and styles in the expected direction, and that resiliency (personality) factors mediate the effect of coping styles, but their direct effect is very small. Moreover, the effect of “sense of relatedness” was contrary to expectations as regards previous studies. A hypothetical explanation of this result is suggested.

Resumen

Para averiguar sobre qué factores actuar para facilitar el desarrollo de la resiliencia en la adolescencia este estudio contrasta la validez de dos modelos sobre las relaciones hipotéticas entre dos grupos de predictores, estilos de afrontamiento y factores de personalidad asociados a la resiliencia, y esta como criterio. Participan en el estudio 1078 alumnos (12 a 18 años) de cuatro colegios. Se realizan cuatro análisis de rutas con variables latentes (PALV), dos para testar cada modelo y dos de validación cruzada. Los resultados muestran que la mejora de la resiliencia depende de los estilos de afrontamiento, y que los factores de personalidad asociados a la resiliencia actúan como mediadores del efecto de aquellos, pero también que su efecto directo es muy pequeño. Además, el efecto del «sentido de relación» es contrario al esperado a partir de los resultados de otros estudios. Se presenta una explicación hipotética de este resultado.
