The Influence of Family and School on the Psychological Resilience of Adolescents from the Perspective of Education and Intimate Relationship
Abstract
The significance of psychological resilience as a protective element has been brought to light in recent years by growing worries about teenage mental health, increased academic pressure, and the effects of digital surroundings. Psychological resilience is defined as a dynamic adaptation process resulting from the interaction of internal capabilities and external resources, which is crucial for adolescents to cope with challenges and thrive. This article systematically reviews the main factors influencing the development of psychological resilience among teenagers, with a focus on discussing them from two main dimensions: educational methods and intimate relationships. Through the synthesis of existing literature, this paper finds that both family education and school education play a crucial role in educational methods. At the same time, intimate relationships, including secure attachment, effective parent-child communication, supportive peer relationships, and positive teacher-student relationships, provide the necessary emotional foundation for psychological resilience. At the same time, although these two core factors are fundamental, the psychological resilience of teenagers must also recognize the influence of genetic, biological, community and social factors.
