Abstract

The current study sought to determine if any meaningful relationship existed between perceived mental, emotional/behavioral, and academic resilience and overall resilience in adolescent American students. The current quantitative study was conducting using convenience sampling though a national school counselors’ website. Respondents were asked to respond to a modified version of the ARS-30 resiliency questionnaire as well as respond to a few demographic questions. The findings of the study demonstrated that each aspect of adolescent student resilience (mental, emotional/behavioral, and academic) were statistically significant predictors of overall student resilience; with academic resilience being the most statistically significant predictor of perceived overall resilience in adolescent American students. The findings of the current study give a starting point in measuring American adolescent resilience in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the findings of the current study support previous research about the positive outcomes of resilience in students in academic settings.
