A total of 432 members, 229 women and 203 men, participated to the study voluntarily. The shortresilience scale used in the study was developed by Smith et al. (2008) and adapted into Turkish by Doğan (2015). Variance andhomogeneity of data were tested by using descriptive statistics in capturing of data. In the case of pairwise comparisons,independent sample t test, One-way Anova test in multiple comparisons and Tukey HSD test in determination of source ofvariance were used Cronbach's Alpha value for this study was set to 78. While there was no statistical significance observed inthe resilience mean values of the members depending on the age, education and profession factors, it was found to be theaverage value of men members was statistically higher than women members (Table 1, p
