Adolescents with a winning scenarios revealed higher rates of the following factors: «hardiness», «commitment», «control», «challenge», «adaptation», «acceptance of self», «acceptance of others», «desire to dominate» «internality» and «emotional comfort». Teens with a losingscenario showed lower results on these factors. They have less hardiness, tend to attribute the results of their activities to external forces, teenagers face lots of difficulties during the adaptation.The study reveals that teens – representatives of the informal subcultures do not differ by factors of hardiness and social – psychological adjustment of adolescents do not identify themselves as such. Members of subcultures with winning scenarios also have the resources to overcome difficult situations and succeed in society. Thus, the winning life scenarios considered as a factor of resilience and adaptive capacity of adolescents.
