Anotace: The study presents the results of measuring the

resilience of high school students. The main goal is to find
whether there is a link between the resilience of students and
preferred coping strategies. Quantitative research was
subsequently conducted with students in the 2nd and 3rd years
of secondary schools. The research included a questionnaire
survey in which students were presented with two
questionnaires. The first questionnaire was self-designed and
aimed to assess the level of resilience; the second standardized
questionnaire focused on the preferred choice of coping
strategies. Responses were received from a total of 516
respondents. The data were evaluated using the tools of
descriptive statistics. The results showed that pupils' resilience is
generally at a good level. In addition, five key factors improving
and lowering resilience were identified. Furthermore, five
preferred strategies and five strategies that students prefer to
avoid when dealing with problem situations were identified. At
the same time, a direct correlation between the effort to take an
active approach to solve problems and the degree of resilience
was observed; this is considered to be the main outcome of the
study.
