The goal of this investigation was to detect individual and social variables that contribute to the strengthening of the resilience process in 210 school adolescents (male and female) of a low social-economic level residing in the City of Córdoba (Argentina). The research carried out detected two groups (resilient and non-resilient) which were compared in relation to social demographic characteristics and with variables now being study. The research found significant differences concerning self-concept, social support, intelligence and stressful situations in life due to personal problems. The analysis done through the logistic multiple regressions indicates that self-concept is the best predictable variable of resilience, followed by social support and self-regulation skills (cognitive and emotional).

Keywords : Resilience; risk and protection factors; adolescents in psycho-social risk.
