Abstract
The global COVID-19 pandemic further affected the urgency to prepare humanity to survive in critical situations. Affective bonding is a source for family resilience. The aim of this article is to present the first data from an exploratory, non-experimental investigation to highlight whether the perception of the bonding was different in two independent groups. A questionnaire, based on the Walsh family resilience model, was applied to 388 participants from Spain and Mexico. The nonparametric Mann - Whitney statistical test was used to contrast the responses, in addition to the analysis of sociodemographic indicators that allow the differentiation of bondings. The findings showed that there are no significant differences between the two groups regarding the need to generate bonds in the family to reinforce the resilience of each of its members and strengthen family resilience in the face of the global crisis.
