“…Resilience has relevance to anyone facing stress but has particular applicability in an academic context because students' entry into academia is an inherently emotional and stressful experience (Martin and Marsh, 2006; Ong, Bergeman, Bisconti, and Wallace, 2006). If students are unable to navigate the stressful academic environment, they are more likely to fall prey to a number of detrimental consequences, including poor academic performance and premature withdrawal from the university (Byrne, Flood, and Griffin, 2014; Murtaugh, Burns, and Schuster, 1999; Smith, Emerson, Haight, Maudlin, and Wood, 2020). Moreover, academic stress has been associated with both academic burnout and poor health, yet resilience has been shown to enhance an individual's ability to withstand exposure to stressors without negative consequences (Britt and Jex, 2015; Law, 2010; Lim, Tam, and Lee, 2013).…”
