Abstract

Resilience, particularly under stressful circumstances, is essential for well-being. Prior research has shown the positive effects of resilience on overall self-esteem and emotional balance, but the dynamic nature of these attributes has consistently been overlooked. This study investigated how resilience influences state self-esteem and emotional balance during periods of examination stress. To this end, we utilized a 13-day daily diary design to collect data once a day from 212 participants (160 females; Mage = 18.30; SDage = 1.03). A multilevel linear model was constructed using Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM) to examine the effects of resilience on state self-esteem and emotional balance during daily stressful situations. Our findings revealed that resilience predicted higher levels of both state self-esteem and emotional balance, confirming previous studies. Notably, students with higher resilience demonstrated quicker recovery in these areas, underscoring resilience's role in sustaining well-being. This study contributes to the expanding literature on resilience by highlighting its value in maintaining self-esteem and emotional stability.

学生适应能力越强，从考试压力中恢复得越快：每日日记研究

适应力，尤其是在压力环境下，对健康至关重要。先前的研究表明，弹性对整体自尊和情绪平衡有积极影响，但这些属性的动态性质一直被忽视。本研究探讨考试压力下心理弹性对状态自尊和情绪平衡的影响。为此，我们采用了为期13天的每日日记设计，每天从212名参与者(160名女性；法师= 18.30；SDage = 1.03)。本研究采用层次线性模型（HLM）构建多层次线性模型，探讨心理弹性对日常压力情境下状态自尊和情绪平衡的影响。我们的研究结果表明，弹性预示着更高水平的状态自尊和情绪平衡，证实了之前的研究。值得注意的是，适应力较高的学生在这些方面恢复得更快，强调了适应力在维持幸福感方面的作用。本研究通过强调弹性在维持自尊和情绪稳定方面的价值，有助于扩充有关弹性的文献。
