Abstract
Effects of social skills and self-esteem on resilience in university students were investigated. University students (N=252; Mean age=20.84±1.46 years) participated in this study by responding to the following instruments: Resilience Scale for Students (RS-S), Social Skills Self-Rating Scale and Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale. Results of hierarchical multiple regression analysis indicated that social skills and self-esteem predicted resilience. Moreover, in participants with low self-esteem, social skills had a more potent effect on resilience than in participants with high self-esteem. Based on these results, we have discussed the role of social skills and self-esteem on resilience.
