DOI: 10.23951/2307-6127-2025-1-143-150
This article is a discussion of the importance of the study of resilience in modern society. There is a particular focus on the need for the study of resilience in adolescents, who are at a sensitive stage in the development of resilience. Much attention is also paid to the problem of bullying as one of the most pressing issues in the teenage environment. It is shown how important it is to build up and develop resilience in the fight against bullying. Based on theoretical analyses, it is hypothesized that the content characteristics of resilience may differ among adolescents depending on their role in bullying. A pilot study presents the specific resilience outcomes of adolescents in different bullying roles. The study was conducted on a sample of 88 adolescents aged 15–17 years studying in Novosibirsk. It is reported that there were no significant differences in resilience between the groups of victims, observers and defenders. Attention is drawn to the fact that the substantive characteristics of resilience in adolescents in bullying situations differ depending on the role they occupy. It is concluded that for adolescents in the role of victim, time perspective indicators are significant in the structure of resilience; for adolescents in the predominant role of protector, extraversion is an individual characteristic.
