Abstract:

A questionnaire of 680 college students (20.26±) (EIS), SCSQ), adolescent mental resilience scale (Hu Yueqin, 2008), 2008) was used to study the mediating effect of emotional resilience on the positive response and provide a feasible plan to improve the college students. College students could predict the positive response (β=0.53, t=16.05, P <0.01). After adding mental resilience variables, emotional intelligence could predict the positive response (β=0.38, t=9.765, P<0.01), target focus, emotional control, positive cognition, interpersonal assistance (values: 0.143,0.124,0.087,0.158, p<0.01).In the mediation model, the targeted focus of psychological resilience, emotional control, positive cognition, and interpersonal assistance showed a positive statistical prediction of positive response (0.279,0.075,0.361,0.119, p<0.01, respectively).Conclusion: Psychological resilience plays a mediating role in the influence of emotional intelligence on positive response and helps to improve their mental health and face life stress calmly.
