Latent resilience profile in schoolchildren

Abstract

Background: Resilience research requires evidence to distinguish common and differential traits that allow the infant to face a situation of crisis and/or adversity. The aim of the study is to identify the latent profiles of resilience as a function of self-efficacy, subjective well-being (life satisfaction and positive-negative affect), daily stressors and depression in schoolchildren during the Covid-19 confinement. Method: A total of 869 students of both sexes, boys (449) and girls (420) aged 10 to 13 years (M = 11.10, SD = 0.76) enrolled in different public basic education institutions, participated. The scales were applied for each of the variables of interest. A latent profile analysis (LPA) was used. Results: 5 distinct groups were identified: 1) moderate resilience, 2) vulnerable, 3) functional, 4) resilient and 5) well-adjusted. Conclusions: These profiles are useful for providing evidence regarding the different expressions of child resilience
