Table 3: Assessment of hypotheses

Hypothesis Result Comment
H1 Rejected There were 11 persons in the set who claimed that they had been suffering from ulcerous colitis for less than a year. Their level of resilience was between 40 and 87 points, with the average value of 68.4 points. More than 75% of them reached the value of 50 points or more, thus at least average or higher level of resilience.
H2 Accepted 56 persons stated that they had a quiet course of the disease. Their level of resilience was between 29 and 94 points with the average value of 70.4 points. More than 75% of them reached the value of 59 points or more, thus average or higher resilience.
H3 Rejected Pancolitis concerned 19 persons. Their level of resilience was between 53 and 89 points with the average value of 73.2. More than 75% of them reached the value of 65 points or more, thus medium and higher level of resilience.
H4 Accepted 18 persons stated that they were taking medicaments. Their level of resilience was between 29 and 93 points with the average value of 64.6. More than 75% of them reached the value of 58 points or more, thus average to very high level of resilience.
H5 Accepted The average level of resilience in adolescents reaches the value of 67.6 points. In young adults the average is 71.3 points. The difference was 3.7 points, which is 4.5%.
H6 Rejected The average level of perceived social support in adolescents reaches the value of 65.8 points. In young adults the average is 67.5 points. The difference is 1.7 points, which is 2.4%.
