Resilience Levels Among College Students: A Comparative Study fromTwo Southern States inthe USA
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 1
Abstract
During young adulthood, individuals transitioning to adulthood experience unique challenges that require appropriate adaptation to survive and maintain optimum functioning. Such challenges can include dealing with identity development, financial pressures, emotions, and additional increased stress. Knowing how young adults successfully transition this stage while overcoming adversity is critical.A dearth of such information in literature suggests a need for in-depth research on ways in which young adults can grow and cope successfully.The goal of the current research study is to examine how young adults utilize their resources and examine factors that enhance their level of resilience as opposed to those that hinder. Data were analyzed to determine any significant differences between young adults’ emotional well-being and their levels of resilience in the states of Alabama and Tennessee. Resources (individual, caregiver, and contextual) were explored to examine young adults’ resilience. It was found that there was a relationship between gender and resilience levels. Overall, the findings suggested that young adults in Alabama and Tennessee were highly resilient and have individual, caregiver, and contextual components that support their lives.
