Abstract: MODINA, LIANNE JOY D.; RAPADA, MARY GRACE. Problems Experienced, Resiliency, and Coping Mechanisms of Fostered Children in an Institution in Cavite. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Psychology. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. May 2017. Adviser: Ms. Imelda R. Filart. This study was conducted in January 2017 to March 2017 in an institution in Cavite. Specifically, the study aimed to (1) identify the problems generally experienced by the participants; (2) determine the level of resilience of the participants; (3) recognized the coping mechanisms usually used by the participants; (4) identify the relationship between: (a) problems experienced and level of resilience of the participants; (b) problems experienced and coping mechanisms of the participants; and (c) level of resilience and coping mechanisms of the participants. The study used descriptive-correlational design. The variables were described one by one and correlated with each other. The study had 78 fostered children participants who were in their adolescents, and were studying during the time of the research. They were chosen using purposive sampling. Mean, standard deviation, and Spearman Rank Correlation were used as statistical tools in the study. After gathering data, the researchers found out that the participants usually experienced relational-verbal bullying. They experienced being taunted by other children. Other children were spreading rumors about them. They were being excluded from the group. Since they had encountered a lot of hardships in life, the researchers discovered that the participants had low level of resilience. This meant that they could not easily move on from the problem that they were facing. To overcome their problems, the participants usually used social withdrawal as their coping mechanisms. They were isolating themselves from the crowd, may be because they thought that they were different, and also they were bullied. The researchers also found out that there was a significant relationship between problems experienced and level of resilience of the participants. The more problems they experienced, the lower the level of their resilience. There was also a significant relationship between problems experienced and coping mechanisms of the participants. Like the first relationship, it was a negative correlation indicating that as the number of problems experienced increases, the less they could cope from it and vise versa. Similarly, there was a significant relationship between resilience level and coping mechanisms of the participants, and it was a positive correlation. This meant that the higher the level of resilience, the more the participants coped with their problems. participants usually used social withdrawal as their coping mechanisms.
