Resilience and subjective well-being by gender and education level in adolescence
Main Article Content
Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze the relationships between resilience and dimensions of subjective well-being (satisfaction with life, positive affect and negative affect). Participants were 1250 students of secondary education (M=13.72, SD=1.09) of whom 612 (49%) were male and 638 (50%) female. Three assessment instruments were administered: the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) of Connor & Davidson (2003), the Satisfaction with Life Scale (Diener, Emmon, Larsen, & Grifin, 1995) and the AffectBalance Scale (Bradburn, 1969). The results indicated that resilient adolescents showed significantly higher scores in satisfaction with life and positive affect, and lower scores in negative affect. This pattern of results was the same for the total sample and for sex and educative level groups.
