Résumé

Some negative experiences during adolescence can jeopardize psychological adaptationthroughout life. Therefore, promoting adolescent resilience is an important goal toprevent symptoms of psychopathology. The Resilience Portfolio Model puts forward aframework to understand how different strengths (classified into three dimensions:regulatory, interpersonal, and meaning making) can help people adapt and even thrive.Through this lens, the current study examines post-traumatic growth after victimizationand other adversities. Participants were 407 Spanish adolescents aged from 14 to 18(79.6% indicated some exposure to adversity). After testing their psychometric adequacy,different measures of strengths, well-being, victimization, and adversity were included ina survey for analyzing their association with post-traumatic growth. Density (moreintensity of strengths), diversity (more variety of strengths), and all strength dimensionsdiscriminated between those who scored high or low in post-traumatic growth. Whileendurance, meaning making density, and diversity of strengths predicted higher posttraumatic growth, a higher emotional regulation related to lower post-traumatic growth.The model offers a guide for analyzing and promoting resilience in adolescentpopulations, and a series of short tools for evaluating a broad set of strengths.
