Abstract
The purpose of this paper was to investigate the connection between the concept of individual resilience and the concept of satisfaction with family life as a basis for evidence-based intervention planning to promote positive development and prevent risk behaviours among children and young people. The survey included a representative sample of 4,821 students from the City of Zagreb, and the age of the participants was from 14 to 19 years old. Modified versions of the Resilience and Youth Development Module CHKS (California Department of Education, 1997) and the Family Satisfaction Scale FACES IV (Olson & Gorall, 2006) were applied. In the aim of achieving the goals of this paper, the following statistical methods and analyses were used: Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Chi-Squared test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, as well as simple and multiple regression. There were significant gender differences: girls showed higher Empathy, Problem Solving & Cooperation and Communication than boys, while boys showed higher Self-efficacy & Self-awareness. Furthermore, there was a gender difference in satisfaction with family life: boys were more satisfied with family life than girls. There were significant positive correlations between aspects of individual resilience and family life satisfaction, and a higher level of aspects of individual resilience significantly predicted satisfaction with family life.
