Youth Engagement and Resilience
Youth Engagement and Resilience

Summary/Abstract: Resilience is widely recognized as a critical factor in the psychological well-being and positive development of young individuals. Consequently, research examining variables that contribute to the enhancement of resilience has garnered substantial attention. The present study investigates the correlation between youth engagement and resilience, as well as differences in each construct across various socio-demographic variables. The sample comprised 200 participants aged 19 to 29 years. Results indicated that the overall level of engagement among participants was moderate. No statistically significant differences in youth engagement were observed with respect to gender, financial status, or other examined socio-demographic characteristics. With regard to youth resilience, statistically significant differences were found in relation to gender, perceived financial situation, and employment status. A significant moderate positive correlation was found between youth engagement and resilience, suggesting that increased engagement is associated with higher resilience among young people. The implications of this study point to the value of designing comprehensive, activity-based interventions that enhance resilience and promote overall well-being among youth. It also highlights the importance of multi-level support systems—spanning family, school, and community involvement—in fostering youth resilience.
