Abstract

Against the backdrop of fierce educational competition, this study examines the link between college students' psychological resilience and academic achievement. Through stratified random sampling of 1,200 students from 10 universities, it uses the CD-RISC scale and measures academic performance by GPA, scholarships, and competition awards. Results reveal a significant positive correlation (r = 0.42, p < 0.01). Female students have higher resilience scores, and senior students outperform freshmen. Regression analysis shows resilience accounts for 14.44% of academic variance. The findings emphasize the importance of resilience in academic success and call for enhanced mental health education and personalized counseling. Longitudinal studies are suggested for causal exploration.
