The objectives of this research were focused on analysing the psychological resilience in relation to the coping strategies, and also to the individual values of the 8th grade students in order to identify future coordinates of the programs meant to develop the above-mentioned resilience and to facilitate better results of the students at the national evaluation. The results of the study showed that the psychological resilience was associated with certain coping strategies that ensured a good adaptation and functionality, such as: high levels of acceptance, positive refocusing, refocusing using planification, positive re-evaluation, perspective driven attitude. The students with certain values like autonomy, certitude, respect of the rules in relation to the challenges of life, development of abilities and recognition of merits had a higher level of psychological resilience. This resilience can be predicted and explained using the simultaneous contributions of the coping strategies and individual values that were analysed in this study. Due to the low number of subjects (80), this research represents a pilot study that can be further used as a starting point for other researches meant to deepen and clarify the multitude of variables associated with the resilience of the 8th grade pupils in order to identify the best strategies aiming to develop their psychological resilience, and consequently facilitate better achievements in future school examinations.
