The primary aim of the study that this article reports was to model and test a social ecological explanation of resilience as explained by Ungar. Its secondary aim was to investigate resilience-promoting supports in school-going Black South African adolescents. School attendance was specified as a culturally appropriate, functional outcome of resilience. The Pathways to Resilience Research Project gathered data through the Pathways to Resilience Youth Measure. Seven hundred and thirty school-going adolescents (age 12-19 years, 388 female, 341 male, one unspecified) from Thabo Mofutsanyana District, in South Africa's Free State province, participated in this cross-sectional study. Latent variable modeling was used to test measurement models of adolescents' self-reported perceptions of social ecological contributions (resources and risks) to their resilience. A complex model based on a social ecological explanation of resilience fitted the data best. The structural model showed that the resilience process predicted 32% of the variance in school attendance. Social skills, cultural, and spiritual resources were most supportive of adolescents' resilience. The results confirmed that the complex model explained resilience in Black South African adolescents as a person-context relational process and prompt principals, parents, teachers, and governmental departments to encourage school attendance.
本文所报告的研究的主要目的是对昂加尔所解释的复原力的社会生态解释进行建模和测试。其次要目的是调查南非上学的黑人青少年中促进复原力的支持因素。上学被指定为复原力在文化上合适的、功能性的结果。“复原力途径研究项目”通过“复原力途径青年量表”收集数据。来自南非自由邦省塔博·莫富坦亚纳区的730名上学青少年（年龄在12至19岁之间，388名女性，341名男性，1名未说明性别）参与了这项横断面研究。使用潜变量建模来测试青少年自我报告的对其复原力的社会生态贡献（资源和风险）的感知的测量模型。基于复原力社会生态解释的复杂模型最适合这些数据。结构模型表明，复原力过程预测了上学差异的32%。社交技能、文化和精神资源对青少年的复原力最有支持作用。结果证实，该复杂模型将南非黑人青少年的复原力解释为一个人与环境的关系过程，并促使校长、家长、教师和政府部门鼓励上学。
