Abstract

Resilience is the ability to adapt at adverse events, overcome them and be able to achieve successful progress despite having lived that harmful situation. Core self-evaluations are a broad, higher-order personality factor composed of four personality traits: self-esteem, self-efficacy, internal locus of control and neuroticism. In this paper, we aim to know if there is a relationship between resilience and the broad personality factor called core self-evaluations, we also consider whether there are differences by sex and age. Participants were 620 students and scholars (50% male) from León and Salamanca (Spain). The measures were the Ego-Resilience Scale and the Core Self-Evaluations Scale (CSES). The results indicate that students with higher scores on the resilience scale also score higher on core self-evaluations. We found differences statistically significant by sex: men obtained higher scores on resilience and core self-evaluations. Younger students take the highest scores on core self-evaluations. We can concluded that the most resilient young people are those with greater emotional stability, healthier self-esteem, have internal locus of control and higher self-efficacy. In addition, young men have these qualities largely than women.
