Abstract

This paper grasps the responses of 226 students, men and women, of the seventh region of Chile (Maule). The variables considered were: resilience, sexism and violence. Three instruments were administered to subjects in the first semester 2015. The scales used were: Resilience Scale for youth and adults SV-RES (Saavedra & amp; Villalta, 2008), Sexism Scale Detection Teen DSA (Recio, Square & Amp; Ramos, 2005) and Scale Modified
Conflict Tactics MCTS (Neidig, 1986, Muñoz and cabbage. 2007). Descriptive statistics were applied and correlated variables as well. Among the main results, level close to the average resilience was obtained, a strong profile described by the “elitism” and under development in the affective area. Meanwhile, a low level was seen in hostile sexism and benevolent sexism above average. Regarding the styles and strategies coping with conflict, young respondents mostly occupy the “argument”; however some of them resolve their
conflicts through moderate physical assaults.
