Abstract

Abstract Living in the foster care system because of adverse family conditions can affect the resilience of early adolescents. This study aimed to test a causal model of factors affecting resilience among adolescents aged 10–14 years living in homes for children in the Bangkok metropolitan region of Thailand. Data were collected by using self-report questionnaires. The final modified model was a fit with the empirical data. Problem-focused coping, self-concept, and school engagement had positive direct effects on resilience while social connectedness had indirect effects. The model accounted for 40% of the overall variance in the prediction of resilience. Promoting interventions that focus on these factors would be beneficial in strengthening resilience among early adolescents living in homes for children.
