Although the literature on positive adjustment following traumatic events is growing, only a few studies have examined this phenomenon in young refugees. Using the social-ecological framework, the aim of this study was to identify factors and processes that according to young refugees promote their resilience. A total of 16 treatment-seeking refugees aged 13–21 years, living in the Netherlands, were interviewed. Data analysis revealed four resilience strategies: (1) acting autonomously, (2) performing at school, (3) perceiving support from peers and parents, and (4) participating in the new society. These strategies interacted with one another and demonstrated the interrelatedness between individuals and their social context. Having to wait long for a residence permit and being older appeared to negatively influence participants’ resilience strategies. These findings suggest that resilience refers to a dynamic process that is context and time specific.

Alcohol remains the most frequently abused substance among college athletes. Athletes experience a unique set of social influences on college campuses that range from intrapersonal beliefs to governing policies that can effect behaviors. A social ecological framework was used to examine the influences on reported alcohol use among a sample (n=106) of Division III athletes. Participants were surveyed regarding reported drinking habits and social ecological influences. Hierarchical multiple regression was used to analyze which levels of the social ecological framework predicted a greater number of drinks consumed in one sitting. The full model was significant (R2=0.559, F(15,105)=7.600, p<0.001). Intrapersonal, interpersonal and institutional/organizational influences significantly added to the model.Prevention programs targeting multiple influences are important to reduce risky alcohol use among DIII athletes.

<p><em>Incidence of adolescent marriages in South Kalimantan is still high and acts an obstacle to maturing the marriage age program. This paper aims to analyze the dominant factors which contribute to the maturity of women’s marriages by modifying the social ecological framework theory. This survey study had 180 respondents with 113 women who were married under 19 years and 47 respondents who were married at 19-30 years, while the anlaysis was using bivariate and multivariate analysis. The variables used refer to the social ecological framework theory and there are 2 variables used here, namely individuals (education and  work status) and interpersonal (father’s education, father’s occupation and the economy of the respondent’s previous household). The results of the bivariate analysis are in line with social ecological framework theory. Furthermore, the results of multivariate analysis show that all of these variables are 35.7 percent influencing the adolescent marriages. Based on multivariate analysis, the most influential determinants on adolescent marriages are respondents from poor households before marriage, father’s working in agriculture, respondents do not work, fathers do not graduate from elementary school and respondents have low education.</em></p>
