RESUMO

In an effort to identify responses pointing towards resilience in the behavioral system of individuals who are successful in confronting adversities and also to understand how such behaviors unfold 220 people were interviewed for the event 148 women and 72 men. The following instruments were used: Identification Data Form Inventory of Stress Symptoms (I.S.S.) Database of Stress Source and Database of Behaviors Pointing to Resilience. It is observed that 72% of individuals are stressed. There is notably a frequent occurrence of psychological symptoms and 76% of the individuals agree to be daily susceptible to innumerous stressful situations. The main stressor refers to the administration of personal tasks especially if the individual is a female and it also refers to the work itself. It is noted that men show a more frequent behavior of resilience than women do. Moreover men manifest a greater ability to control emotions and to face new challenges. However it is noticed both in men and women that those individuals with more distinguished sense of self-control and ability to understand the basis of adversities and those who are optimistic and sympathetic are less likely to develop symptoms of chronic stress. A balanced emotional attitude is considered the main protection factor. Most of those individuals who are not stressed consider that effective skills to confront the adversities are learned throughout the course of their lives.
