Resilience in university students: Multisite study in France, Quebec, Romania, Algeria and Rwanda

摘要

The goal of this multisite research, conducted with university students from France, Quebec, Romania, Algeria and Rwanda, was to explore relation between scores on a Risk factors scale and on the Wagnild and Young Resilience scale. The main result, except for Rwandan sample, confirms the existence of a negative relation (significant for the French, Quebec and Rumanian samples) between scores obtained at the two scales. Results also show between-countries differences concerning resilience scores and mean number of risk factors.
