Hardinesse of adolescents from migrant families in Central Asia and Transcaucasia

Abstract

   Introduction. The article presents the results of a study of the hardiness of adolescents from migrant families in Central Asia and Transcaucasia.   Materials and Methods. The study was conducted by a face-to-face survey in the period from November 2020 to March 2021. Empirical data collection was carried out using The Hardiness Test (S. Muddy, adapted by D. A. Leontiev), mathematical data processing was carried out using Pearson's chi-squared test.   Results. Analysis of the results of the study allowed us to establish that there are significant differences in the manifestation of individual components and hardiness in general in adolescents from migrant families in Central Asia and Transcaucasia, namely: adolescents from Transcaucasia demonstrate higher results in the components of control, challenge and hardiness. Thanks to the analysis of the results of the control group (non-migrant adolescents), it was found that the indicators of hardiness of adolescents from migrant families are significantly lower in terms of control. Adolescents from Central Asia have less developed indicators of challenge and hardiness in comparison with the control group.   Discussion and Conclusions. The results obtained during the study allowed us to establish that despite the fact that in the components of control, challenge and hardiness, the indicators of adolescents from Transcaucasia are higher than those of adolescents from Central Asia, nevertheless they are lower than those of adolescents from the control group. Thus, there is a need for further study and specification of the characteristics of the hardiness of adolescents from migrant families.
