Abstract

In this descriptive study, we compared the resilience levels of high schools whose parents are divorced to those whose parents together and examined their perceived social support levels. This study has been carried out with relational screening model which is a submodel of general screening model. In total, 584 students (345female, 239male) participated the study and 262 of them have divorced parents and 322 of them have family which lives together. Students study in 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th grades, the age range varies between 14-21, their average age is 16.53. As a data collection tool, resilience scale which is developed by Gurgan in 2006 and social provision scale which is developed by Russel et al. (1984) have been used. In consequence of the findings which have been obtained from this study, a medium-level, positive and meaningful relation between the resilienece and social support both in adolescents whose parents are divorced and in adolescents whose parents are together has been founded out. It has been seen that the high school students whose parents are together are more optimistic than the ones whose parents are divorced. Also, it is not found significant difference between the high school students whose parents are together and divorced in terms of being strong, entrepreneurial, establishing relationships, being predictive, reaching the goal, being a leader and being a researcher.
