ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the resilience traits of male juvenile delinquents with high traumatic experiences and the relationship on resilience and personality,family environment.Methods 147 male juvenile delinquents selected by self-made traumatic experience questionnaire were surveyed with the Resilience Scale for Chinese Adolescent,Eysenck Personality Questionnaire and Family Environment Scale.The data were statistically analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis and stepwise Regression Analysis.Results The total scores of resilience in male juvenile delinquents with high trauma experiences were (75.98 ± 14.03).Besides the scores of goal planning (3.47±4.23),the scores of affect control(1.94±2.85),positive thinking(2.31±3.47),family support(1.89±3.84)and help seeking (2.92±3.38)were all below 3.Differences of goal planning,positive thinking,family support had been found in male juvenile delinquents with high trauma experiences on the factors including educational level,rural or urban family,whether only-child family,whether single-parent family.The delinquents' resilience was correlated with their personality(r=-0.357-0.175) and family environment (r=-0.185-0.272) in several dimensions (P ＜0.05).Neuroticism,family conflict and psychoticism predicted resilience negatively (β=-2.354,-0.135,-0.194,P＜0.05).Family cohesion predicted resilience positively(β=1.389,P＜0.001).Conclusion The resilience of male juvenile delinquents with high traumatic experiences is poor and personality,and family environment has significant influences on their resiliences.
