OMAR, Alicia et al. Resiliencia y afrontamiento del estrés en adolescentes: efectos mediadores de los valores culturales. Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2010, vol.16, n.3, pp. 448-468. ISSN 1677-1168.

The aim of this study was twofold: a) to explore the relationships between resilience and coping strategies with stress; and b) to examine the role of personal values on such relationships. The research was conducted with a sample consisting of 1512 students (484 Argentines, 363 Brazilians, and 665 Mexicans) who filled a selection of recognized instruments developed to explore resilience, coping with stress and personal values. Correlation analysis showed significant relationships between resilience and positive coping strategies. Mediated regression analysis indicated that both, horizontal individualism and horizontal collectivism, are good mediators of the relationship between resilience and positive coping. These results strongly suggest that the sense of equality (horizontal) among members of the group is the main mediator between the adolescent, the demands of the environment, their resources to cope and develop resilience

Palavras-chave : resilience; coping with stress; collectivism; individualism; horizontality.
