Abstract

This study aimed to examine the level of psychological resilience among students at Al-Quds University and investigate differences in resilience based on gender, age, place of residence, and educational qualification. The study adopted a descriptive methodology, utilizing a sample of 180 students from various majors, selected through a convenience sampling method. The Wagnild & Young (1993) Resilience Scale was translated, adapted, and used to measure psychological resilience.

The findings revealed that the overall level of psychological resilience among Al-Quds University students was moderate. No statistically significant differences in resilience were found based on gender. However, significant differences were observed based on age, with older students demonstrating higher levels of resilience. Furthermore, significant differences were noted concerning place of residence, as students living in urban areas exhibited higher resilience levels compared to those residing in rural areas or refugee camps. Lastly, students with postgraduate qualifications reported higher resilience levels compared to undergraduate students.
