Abstract

: in recent decades there has been a growing interest in investigating factors of positive psychology such as resilience and satisfaction with life, particularly in adolescents within the educational context, resulting in the need to create psychoeducational programs through a model statistical theorist. The literature reports that resilience in educational institutions is related to life satisfaction. For this reason, it is important to determine the association of resilience and satisfaction with life, from a quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional approach and predictive scope. Data obtained from 94 students were analyzed. For data collection, the CDRisk Resilience scale (α = .884) was used, as well as the questionnaire How is your family? Using only the Satisfaction with Life subscale (α = .816); and a sociodemographic questionnaire. The results indicate that the adjusted R^2 suggests that the influence of life satisfaction on resilience is 14.9% (p = 0.001), reflecting that at a high level of Life Satisfaction, students have a better level of Resilience.
