The current study draws on resilience theory and examines the cumulative effects of multiple level risk and promotive factors on internalizing (e.g. psychological distress and self-acceptance) and externalizing outcomes (e.g. delinquency and substance use) among Chinese adolescents. The conceptual model includes factors across individual, peer, family, and community domains.A cross-sectional survey using self-reported questionnaires was conducted in two urban cities in China: Beijing and Xian (N = 1356; 52% female; Grades 7 to 12). Structural equation modeling (SEM) analyses were conducted to test the conceptual models.More cumulative risks were associated directly with more psychological distress, substance use and delinquency. The cumulative promotive factors provided compensatory effects of resiliency through decreased levels of psychological distress and problem behavior. Adolescents with more promotive factors reported higher self acceptance. The study also provides evidence of developmental differences between middle-school and highschool adolescents in the compensatory model of resilience. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
