conference contribution
posted on 2023-05-24, 16:05 authored by F, J, Darren PullenDarren Pullen, Karen SwabeyKaren SwabeyResilience as psychological construct protects, safeguards and shelters children and adolescents against delinquent behaviours. Resilient children and adolescents are less likely to engage in risk behaviours. A total of 2090 school (Grade 3 to Grade 12) students from South Australia participated in the study and completed a Resilience Survey. Delinquency was operationalized as behaviours that were developmentally unsuitable, harmful to self and others. Resilience was conceptualised as one having developmental capital, constructive capabilities, and psychological competencies. A number of ANOVA analysis revealed that those students who exercised and exhibited higher levels of development capital, social-emotional strengths and had a positive outlook for the future, irrespective of gender or age were less likely to engage in delinquent behaviours.
