Stressors and well-being in Low SES Malaysian adolescents: the role of resilience resources

The present study examined the relationship between stressors, resilience resources and well-being in adolescents. The specific aims were (i) to differentiate between resilient and non-resilient adolescents in terms of their resilience resources, and (ii) to examine the role of resilience resources...
