Meaning of Resources in Social Inclusion

Joanna Chwaszcz

The readaptation potential assumes the possession of a certain level of resources, especially a managing resources that will allow the person to run resources gaining, initiate gaining spiral and build the development potential. People with very low resources, especially personal characteristics, activate the processes of resources conservation, leavings of the resources, they are not open to change and development. The aim of the research is therefore to know the level of resources to enable the process of obtaining further resources, the structure of these resources and their correlations with other personal and social variables. In the publication we present several research projects dealing with relationships between personal and social variables performing a particularly important role in the social inclusion of people at risk of exclusion. The results of the studies contained in this publication contribute to a better understanding of human functioning in a situation of social exclusion, are the inspiration for further research in this area and a base for planning research-based strategies for social inclusion of groups at risk of exclusion.
