SOCIAL ADAPTATION AND PSYCHOLOGICAL RESILIENCE FACTORS IN ADOLESCENTS WITH PARENTS ENGAGED IN LABOR MIGRATION
Abstract
This study examines the socio-psychological factors influencing social adaptation and psychological resilience in adolescents whose parents are engaged in labor migration. In the context of increasing global migration processes, parental absence creates specific developmental conditions that significantly affect adolescents’ emotional stability, social behavior, and identity formation. The research focuses on key determinants such as family environment, social support systems, communication patterns, and individual psychological resources, including coping strategies and emotional regulation. Particular attention is given to the role of educational institutions and community structures in compensating for reduced parental involvement and supporting adaptive behavior. The findings indicate that adolescents’ successful adaptation largely depends on the interaction between internal resilience mechanisms and external social conditions, emphasizing the importance of a comprehensive approach that integrates psychological, social, and pedagogical interventions to ensure positive developmental outcomes.
