TY - JOUR PY - 2006// TI - Relational and academic components of resilience in maltreated adolescents JO - Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences A1 - Rajendran, Khushmand A1 - Videka, Lynn SP - 345 EP - 349 VL - 1094 IS - N2 - This study examines the components of resilience in adolescents (aged 11-15 years; n = 816) who were referred to the child welfare system for maltreatment. Data from a national probability study of children and families in the child welfare system showed that adolescents faced a number of risk factors like maltreatment, poverty, and exposure to violence in the community. Social competence, academic achievement, and a sense of relatedness to caregiver were fit in a structural equation model as components of latent resilience. Social competence and the quality of relationship with a caregiver were strongly linked to latent resilience.
