“…This positive association between sense of relatedness and SWL was stronger at higher levels compared to lower levels of search for meaning. Sense of relatedness is conceptualized as a sense of trust and perceived access to support, as well as comfort and tolerance with others (Prince-Embury et al, 2017). Hence, the construct is proposed to be a major underlying mechanism in the formation and maintenance of relationships as the basis of developing a support system (Prince-Embury, 2006, 2013.…”

“…Sense of relatedness is defined as perceived access to social support, trust, comfort, and tolerance of others (Prince-Embury & Saklofske, 2014). Emotional reactivity, defined as the frequency and intensity of maladaptive emotional responses when confronted with adversity, represents a vulnerability factor to resiliency (Prince-Embury et al, 2017). Given that emotional reactivity represents a vulnerability factor and this study is primarily concerned with the protective factors of resiliency, only the two protective factors (i.e., sense of relatedness and sense of mastery) were included as predictors.…”

While presence of meaning in life (i.e., presence) is associated with a plethora of desirable qualities (e.g., greater well-being, longevity, positive affect), search for meaning is associated with psychological distress (e.g., reports of conflict, rumination, depression; Boyle, Barnes, Buchman, & Bennett, 2009). Individuals with higher resiliency, defined as a multifaceted competency in adapting and recovering from adversity, could potentially mitigate the distress associated with search, and thus, achieve greater satisfaction with life (SWL). The present study examined the moderating role of meaning in life between resiliency (i.e., sense of mastery and sense of relatedness) and SWL in a sample of Canadian university students (N=289). Hierarchical regression analyses showed that there was a positive association between resiliency and SWL and this association was stronger at higher levels compared to lower levels of search for meaning. These results suggest that individuals searching for meaning with high levels of mastery have the greatest SWL, while their counterparts with low mastery have the lowest SWL. Similar moderating effects of search were found with the positive association between sense of relatedness and SWL. Overall, findings suggest that protective factors in resiliency may buffer against the potential negative impact of search.

“…Further, for many students, entering postsecondary education involves moving away from well-established support networks; thus, having a greater sense of relatedness may make it easier to develop new relationships and support systems. Lastly, individuals who score high on emotional reactivity may experience greater emotional challenges when faced with new social and academic pressures (Prince-Embury et al, 2017). This three-factor model has been utilized in young adult samples in both Canada (Prince-Embury et al, 2017;Vesely, Saklofske, & Nordstokke, 2014;Wilson et al, 2017) and Italy (Di Fabio & Saklofske, 2018;Wilson et al, 2019).…”

“…Student success in the present study is operationally defined as academic achievement measured by grade point average (GPA). While "success" can be conceptualized in many ways and may be considered a subjective term, academic achievement in post-secondary education is particularly relevant, and ultimately has a significant effect on retention and successful degree completion (e.g., Allen, Robbins, Casillas, & Oh, 2008;Kirby & Sharpe, 2001;McGrath & Braunstein, 1997) Therefore, the present research aims to examine three factors of personal resiliency (Prince-Embury, 2006Prince-Embury, Saklofske, & Nordstokke, 2017) as predictors of post-secondary student success after controlling for other previously identified psychological success predictors. The present research is the first phase of a longitudinal study examining resiliency and personal characteristics associated with student success and retention at a North American university.…”

The transition from high school to post-secondary education presents challenges for students. Many variables have been identified as significant predictors of student achievement. Resiliency, defined as the ability to overcome challenges and adversity, may be particularly relevant during the adjustment to post-secondary education. This study assesses whether resiliency incrementally predicts student success after controlling for additional predictors. Participants were 277 undergraduate students who completed self-reports of academic skills, resiliency, personality variables, emotional intelligence (EI), and perfectionism. Students' year-end GPA was collected from the university registrar. Hierarchical regression analysis revealed that resiliency, measured by sense of mastery, negatively predicted GPA after controlling for other predictors. The sense of mastery facet of self-efficacy positively predicted GPA; however, the adaptability facet was a significant negative predictor of GPA. Findings suggest that self-efficacy is a salient predictor of academic success, and that strong academic skills may serve as a protective factor for poor adaptability.

“…Grothberg defined resilience as an individual's capacity to be able to handle, face, eliminate, learn and turn difficult experiences into strength [14]. The resilience perspective is based on a fundamental system that can identify individual functions and make significant adaptations to stressors and threatening situations [15]. Oshio et al, describe resilience as a state of a person who can adapt well to the environment.…”

This study aimed to determine the relationship between social support and resilience in Islamic students who memorize the Qur’an at Junior High School ISR Malang City. The sample consisted of 110 students who were in the process of memorizing the Qur’an. Data were collected using a questionnaire consisting of two scales, namely the social support scale and the resilience scale. The social support scale, called the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), consisted of 12 items, and was developed by Zimet et al. and adapted by Eva & Bisri. The resilience scale, called the Adolescent Resilience Scale, consisted of 21 items, and was developed by Oshio et al. and adapted by the researchers. Data were analyzed using Pearson’s product-moment correlation, resulting in a correlation coefficient of 0.675 (p < 0.05) which fell into the high and unidirectional categories. The results of this study therefore indicated a relationship between social support and resilience in Islamic students who memorize the Qur’an at SMP ISR Malang. Keywords: social support, resilience, Santri, memorizing the Qur’an
