Perceived Social Support, Depression and Life Satisfaction as the Predictor of the Resilience of Secondary School Students: The Case of Burdur

Abstract

seventh-grade, and 118 (30%) attend eighth-grade.In this research used the relational screening method.To obtain the data for the Resilience Scale for Secondary School Students, The Brief Multidimensional Students' Life Satisfaction Scale (BMSLSS), Social Support Appraisal Scale for Children and Adolescents and Depression Scale for Children were used.A t-test, one-way analysis of variance, and multi-standard linear regression analysis were used for data analysis in the research. Findings and Results:The results obtained from the research indicate that perceived social support and life satisfaction significantly predict resilience, whereas depression is not a significant predictor of resilience.Moreover, the resilience of students does not express a significant difference based on gender.The resilience levels of students who live with their parents and whose parents are together was found to be higher when compared to other students.Conclusions and Recommendation: First of all, in order to increase their resilience abilities, psychological training can be provided through counseling in schools for students who live with only one of their parents or their relatives.Within the scope of student personality services, various social support resources can be allocated for secondary school students whose parents have separated and the father/mother is/are not alive.Since social support and life satisfaction are important variables in regard to resilience, an appropriate education-teaching environment can be provided for such studies to be conducted at schools.İn considering schools as important social support elements, increasing school services that meet the needs of the students and transforming the school into an important living area that encourages students to love school can be useful.This can be achieved through sports activities, functional clubs, and creating environments where students can comfortably express themselves.İn order to increase resilience levels, psycho-training program start getting risk groups can be developed, and these programs can be experimentally tested.The most important restriction of this study is that the sample group consisted of students living in Burdur, a small city that does not receive many immigrants.
