摘要：The objective of the report is to answer the question of whether the level of mental resilience is linked with a sense of support received in the group of subjects. The research was conducted on a group of 174 teenagers of both sexes, aged 14–18 years old. Two groups of respondents participated in the presented study: 112 people were classified as social misfits, and 62 people were in the control group. The research was conducted in attendance centers. The Polish Ogińska-Bulik and Juczyński’s SPP-18 scale and the author’s Support Factors Questionnaire were used to study the mental resilience. The following results were obtained: the overall level of the resilience of mental coherence and factors 1, 3, 4 did not differ significantly in the groups compared. The socially maladjusted youth is significantly different from the youth in the control group in persistence and determination when taking action and their sense of school support. Mental resilience and the sense of (family, school, peer) support are correlated in the maladjusted youth group.
