Adolescents’ ability to function well under adversity relies on a network of interrelated support systems. This study investigated how consecutive age groups differ in the interactions between their support systems. A secondary data analysis of cross‐sectional studies that assessed individual, caregiver, and contextual resources using the Child and Youth Resilience Measure (Ungar & Liebenberg, 2005) in 13‐ to 18‐year‐olds in Canada (N = 2,311) and South Africa (N = 3,039) was conducted applying network analysis. Individual and contextual systems generally showed the highest interconnectivity. While the interconnectivity between the individual and caregiver system declined in the Canadian sample, a u‐shaped pattern was found for South Africa. The findings give first insights into cross‐cultural and context‐dependent patterns of interconnectivity between fundamental resource systems during adolescence.

调查13至18岁青少年支持系统之间的相互关系：高收入和中等收入国家的抗灾能力提升系统的网络分析

青少年在逆境中发挥良好功能的能力取决于相互关联的支持系统网络。这项研究调查了连续年龄段的支持系统之间的相互作用有何不同。在加拿大（N  = 2,311）的13至18岁儿童中，采用儿童和青少年弹性指标（Ungar＆Liebenberg，2005）对个人，保育者和背景资源进行评估的横断面研究的二次数据分析。非洲（N = 3039）是通过应用网络分析进行的。个体和上下文系统通常显示出最高的互连性。在加拿大的样本中，尽管个人与照料者系统之间的相互联系有所下降，但在南非却发现了au型模式。这些发现为青春期基本资源系统之间的相互联系提供了跨文化和背景相关的模式的初步见解。
