Rangatahi Wahine: Overcoming the odds – preliminary results

Abstract

The purpose of my research was to identify factors that have contributed to the development of resilience in young Māori girls’ lives. Incorporated into this was an exploration of their psychosocial competence makeup, to see whether their sense of self, sense of relationship to the world, and ability to negotiate life events, was unique.
