RESUMO

Resumo Este artigo analisou os indicadores de resiliência oculta em adolescentes que tiveram envolvimento no tráfico de drogas. Participaram 551 adolescentes e jovens, entre 12-20 anos de idade (M = 16,01; DP = 1,548), de ambos os sexos, sendo 55,4% meninos. Os participantes são provenientes de instituições de três cidades localizadas no interior de São Paulo que atendem adolescentes com e sem histórico de envolvimento no tráfico de drogas. Foi utilizado o instrumento denominado Child and Youth Resilience Measure para verificação dos indicadores de resiliência nas populações. Paradoxalmente, os adolescentes com maior envolvimento no tráfico apresentaram maiores indicadores de resiliência. Questionam-se os modelos explicativos hegemônicos sobre resiliência e propõe-se que novos estudos sobre resiliência oculta sejam conduzidos.Abstract This paper identifies hidden resilience processes among adolescents and young adults who have had involvement in drug trafficking. The participants were 551 adolescents and young people, aged 12-20 years (M = 16.01; SD = 1.548) from both genders, 55.4% of whom were boys. They were recruited from three social service institutions located in the state of São Paulo, which offer services for adolescents with and without a history of involvement in drug trafficking. To assess rates of resilience, the Child and Youth Resilience Measure was employed. Contrary to expectations, adolescents with greater involvement in drug trafficking had higher rates of resilience. This paper challenges the hegemonic conceptualization of resilience and proposes that more studies of hidden resilience need to be conducted.
