Descripción
Sumario:The main objective of this descriptive, cross-sectional study, conducted with a sample of 597 university students from Spain, is to describe students’ levels of resilience and analyze how they relate to gender and religious tendency. The main instrument used was the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). The results show that male students exhibit higher scores in optimism and adapting to stressful situations, whereas females are more spiritual. It was also noted that Christians and atheists/agnostics obtained higher scores, on average, in defying action-oriented behavior, whereas Muslims scored more highly in spirituality.
