Summary

Introduction

Resilience has been conceptualized as a dynamic process involving an interaction between both risk and protective factors, internal and external to the individual, that act to modify the effects of an adverse life event (Garmezy, 1985; Rutter, 1999). Protective factors are defined as fundamental points of resilience that reduce the negative effect of risk factors. Critical thinking disposition has been defined as a constellation of attitudes, intellectual virtues or habits of mind, describing the way an individual reasons, argues and make decisions (Facione et al, 1995; Perkins et al, 1993). By the way theoretically, having a good relationship with a parent prepares the child to engage in healthy productive relationships with other people in the social environment. Having a good relationship with at least one parent was associated with less conflictual relationships with siblings, and peers
