Abstract

The article is devoted to a comparative analysis of young people's resilience from regions with different socio-cultural and ecological living conditions. The authors adhere to the understanding of the phenomenon of resilience as a dynamic process in which people demonstrate positive adaptation despite the experience of experiencing serious life hardships or trauma. Adverse socioeconomic and environmental conditions, the presence of traumatic symptoms, depression, PTSD and their impact on the adolescents’ resilience are considered as risk factors. Individual characteristics, family and contextual support, the social ecology of the place of residence, positive childhood experiences were considered as resilience resources. The total Russian sample of adolescents and young people in the study was 632 people, of which 230 were boys, 402 were girls. All respondents are adolescents from cities: St. Petersburg (n=229), Kirishi(n=68), Vyborg (n=64), Cherepovets (n=91), Chita (n=180). Average age: 18.49 ± 1.87 years. The total sample of adolescents from South Africa is 577, of which 258 were boys, 314 were girls. Average age: 18.13 ± 2.82 years. Research hypotheses: 1. The resources that are leading in the structure of adolescents' resilience have social and cultural conditioning; 2. Unfavorable ecology of the environment weakens the adolescents’ resilience; 3. Resilience is a predictor of decreased development of psychopathology in adolescents. It is concluded that: 1. The risk factors that weaken the adolescents’ resilience include unfavorable socio-ecological environmental conditions, the presence of psychopathological symptoms, and insufficient individual, family, and contextual resources. 2. The resources that are leading in the structure of adolescents’ resilience have social, environmental, and cultural conditioning. 3. Resilience is a predictor of decreased development of depression in adolescents.
