abstract="In this study, the self-report Youth Resiliency: Assessing Development  Strengths (YR:ADS) questionnaire is used with adolescents from  seven junior and senior high schools (N = 2,991) to investigate  the function of resiliency profiles as a model for understanding  why adolescents engage in bullying and acts of aggression and  how having these developmental strengths reduces victimization.  In support of a protective-protective model of resiliency, the  linear relationship with each behaviour indicator shows that  the interactive risk and outcome relationship decreases with  each strength or resiliency factor present. These results suggest  that adolescents with positive situational and internal factors  in their daily lives are inclined to lead prosocial or constructive lifestyles. The ability to negotiate risk or engagement in at-risk behaviours needs to shift the future research from simply identifying protective factors, to an understanding of how the development of resiliency processes allow some individuals to cope more effectively than others.<p />",
