Abstract

Purpose: Determine of social and personal factors discriminating resilient from non-resilient adolescences against abuse.
Method: The statistical population encompasses all high-school students of Jajarm, city, who were 516 people. Emotional abused questionnaire, raumaresilience questionnaire, young self- report scale, and Wechsler IQ test have been administered and then a discriminant analysis were used.
Findings: Findings showed that individual (excluding intelligence) and social (excluding supportive relations to peers and active social involvement) factors were different in two groups (p<0.05). Discriminating function also revealed discrimination between resilient and non-resilient teens so that it determined 20.2 % of resilience changes. it might be concluded that individual protective factors like problem-solving, pessimism, belief structure, self-regulation, and self-esteem, as well as social protective factors like supportive academic performance and neighborhood safety/support help adolescents, endure against parents’ emotional abuse.
