MORELATO, Gabriela Susana. Assessment of Resilience Factors in Argentines Children in Familiar Vulnerability Conditions. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2014, vol.13, n.4, pp.1473-1488. ISSN 1657-9267.  https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.UPSY13-4.efrn.

The purpose of this study was to assess factors associated with resilience in abused children and to analyze the relationship between context and personal variables regarding resilience. The sample consisted of 102 abused children (victims of neglect, physical abuse, and psychological abuse) between 6-13 years-old. We built a resilience index based on tests applied to the children and we adopted the ecological model that takes into account the different context levels of development. The results point out to significant associations between resilience index and the ability to verbalize the problem, low levels of symptomatology, the support of the nuclear or extended family, and the community's active involvement.

Palabras clave : resilience; child abuse; ecological model.
