The results showed a positive relationship between friendship quality with resilience in adolescents whose parents divorced (sig = 0.000 <0.05). The positive relation with correlation coefficient value was 0.415. it means that the higher friendship quality, the higher resilience is. Otherwise, the lower friendship quality, the lower resilience is. Friendship quality gives contribution of resilience of 17.2% (R2 = 0.172).
