Description:	Resilience is a very important aspect of each individual's life. Individual characteristics such as self-esteem and family characteristics such as family adaptability and family cohesion pose both risk and protective factors to exist in an individual's environment. It is through this process of resilience development that the balance between these risk and protective factors play an important role in shaping who that individual becomes. This study is conducted to determine the relationships between resilience, self-esteem, family adaptability and family cohesion of juvenile delinquents while considering the effect of gender. The second objective of this research is to ascertain the level of resilience, self-esteem, family adaptability and family cohesion among juvenile delinquents based on gender. A total of 104 juvenile delinquents (29 males and 75 females) from two juvenile delinquent schools in Malaysia took part in this survey research by responding to The Resilience Scale, The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and The Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales II. Majority of the participants were Malays within the ages of 13 to 20. Results showed that there were significant differences in self-esteem of juvenile delinquents based on gender. Self-esteem, family cohesion and family adaptability have significant correlations with resilience. Self-esteem, family cohesion and family adaptability have significant correlations with personal competence. However, only self-esteem and family cohesion have significant correlations with acceptance of self. Self-esteem, family cohesion and family adaptability accounted for 13.0% of the variance in resilience scores. None of the independent variables together with gender produced a significant interaction effect with resilience.,Certification of Masters/ Doctorial Thesis" is not available
