Adolescent resilience after parental death in childhood and its relationship to attachment and coping were examined in this cross-sectional correlational study. Resilience was operationalized as social competence, global self-worth, and health. Sixty-two adolescents were interviewed using self-report instruments. Pearson product moment correlations and multiple regression analyses were used to test five hypotheses. Three hypotheses were partially supported in that adaptive coping was a significant predictor of the measures of resilience. Correlations were significant between attachment and coping and between attachment and health. All adolescents shared observations about their experiences.
