Abstract
Identity and resilience are critical during adolescence, especially when facing contextual challenges. This longitudinal study explored the trajectories of identity and resilience in adolescents (n = 546; MAge = 16.22) living in an under-resourced South African community. Associations between identity and resilience were analyzed across three time points using repeated measures ANOVA’s. The dimensions of identity did not vary substantially across time, but resilience scores fluctuated significantly. Participants with high resilience showed a substantial decrease in Exploration in Depth over time, while participants with low resilience showed an increase. The findings provide insights into how to foster resilience in adolescents living in under-resourced communities.
