Students’ family resilience and the level of parents’ income

This study analyzes possible differences in the factors of students’ family resilience from the perspective of parental income levels. The study was done on 135 students from the Faculty of Education Sciences of Juraj Dobrila University in Pula, Croatia. The instrument Family Resilience Assessment Scale FRAS (Sixbey, 2005) was taken over and standardized for Croatia (Ferić et al., 2016). The results show that there are differences among students regarding family resilience factors according to the level of father’s income, but not the mother’s. Students whose fathers do not earn income or income is below average consider religion and spirituality as an important component of their family life more than students whose fathers have an income near average or above. The last ones regard as significant factors of resilience inside a family where everyone can express feelings without upsetting the others, getting presents or other tokens of appreciation from their relatives.
