It was observed that the scores obtained from the adjustment dimension differed significantly in the direction of those in the 15 age group, those with low perceived level of perception, those whose mother was illiterate but whose father was a university graduate. The psychological resilience scores were significantly differentiated in the direction of women, those with a high perceived income level, those whose mother was illiterate but whose father was a university graduate, those whose parents were together, and those who were students at Anatolian high school type schools.
