Factor analysis of diagnostic results identified three groups in the complex of studied volitional qualities: “Activeness, readiness for activity” – initiativeness, decisiveness, vigor, persistence; “Effective performance of an activity” – responsibility, sense of purpose, attentiveness; “Hardiness, self-reliance” – self-dependence, self-restraint, perseverance. The moderate and medium strength connections between the resilience indicators and the volitional qualities were revealed; what determines the relevance of the latter to resilience. Concluding: the higher number and strength of revealed links with the volitional qualities of the first group show the leading role of factor of activeness. readiness for activity in the resilience of a person.
