“…The presence of feelings of rejection and judgment in social situations can diminish an individual’s confidence, potentially resulting in the development of more enduring issues in the future. During adolescence, individuals are susceptible to a range of mental and physical developmental vulnerabilities and dysfunctions, including mood disorders, substance misuse, and obesity (Hugh-Jones et al, 2022; Romeo, 2018). Hence, it is crucial to ascertain strategies for effectively managing the diverse problems and pathologies encountered by teenagers, with the aim of fostering a healthier transition into adulthood (Guo & Liang, 2023).…”

Introduction: The objective of this study is to determine the components that contribute to psychological resilience in adolescents and to determine if physical exercise, emotion control, or self-efficacy are more effective predictors of resilience. Methods: Data from participants was collected through a personal information form, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire—Short Form, the Self-Efficacy Scale for Children, the Emotion Regulation Scale for Children and Adolescents, and the Psychological Resilience Scale for Children and Adolescents. The data were gathered online from 16 out of the 81 provinces in Turkey, representing 7 different regions, using convenience sampling. The study sample comprised 505 adolescents, with 309 females and 196 males. The average age of the participants was 15.66 years, with a standard deviation of 1.34. The data obtained from the students was analyzed using SPSS 27.0 statistical software. The Chi-Square test was employed to establish the correlation between the demographic features of adolescents and their levels of physical activity. The relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variable was determined using correlation analysis and hierarchical regression analysis. Results: The results suggest that physical exercise, the ability to regulate emotions through reappraisal, and self-efficacy are significant indicators of adolescents' resilience. Conclusions: The research conclusions point out that self-efficacy has a greater impact on psychological resilience compared to physical activity and emotion regulation.

The Chi-Square test was employed to establish the correlation between the demographic features of adolescents and their levels of physical activity. The relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variable was determined using correlation analysis and hierarchical regression analysis. According to the analyzed results, there was a substantial positive correlation between physical activity and resilience, reappraisal and resilience, and self-efficacy and resilience. In addition, it was noted that physical activity alone explains 4.8% of the overall variation in resilience and is a significant predictor of resilience. The inclusion of reappraisal in the model resulted in a partial prediction of resilience by physical activity. However, the primary strength of the model was attributed to reappraisal. The inclusion of self-efficacy in the model resulted in a significant prediction of resilience, accounting for 36.8% of the total variance. The self-efficacy variable had a higher impact level compared to the other variables. Furthermore, the inclusion of self-efficacy in the model resulted in the elimination of the influence of physical activity on resilience. The research conclusions point out that self-efficacy has a greater impact on psychological resilience compared to physical activity and emotion regulation.

“…Therefore, adolescent mental health problems (MHPs) have gradually become a focus of heated discussion in society. Adolescents are in a critical period of life development, and the stresses of life, education, and family may lead to the occurrence of psychological problems such as insomnia and anxiety ( 1 , 2 ). The occurrence of psychological problems is associated with psychological resilience (PR).…”

BackgroundAdolescents relocated for poverty alleviation have considerable mental health problems (MHPs) in the context of changing living environments and COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control, and psychological resilience (PR) is closely related to MHPs. Existing studies have mainly used cross-sectional research to investigate the relationship between PR and MHPs using PR as a predictor variable.ObjectiveThis study investigated developmental changes in the PR and MHPs of relocated adolescents as well as the relationship between these factors.MethodsA longitudinal study was conducted to assess the PR and MHPs of 1,284 relocated adolescents. Data were collected at approximately 12-month intervals at three time points: spring of 2020 (T1), spring of 2021 (T2), and spring of 2022 (T3). The 1284 adolescents consisted of 620 males and 664 females; 787 were in the fourth grade of elementary school, 455 were in the first grade of middle school, and 42 were in the first grade of high school. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS 25.0 and Mplus 8.1 and methods such as latent growth models and cross-lagged regression analysis.Results(1) The PR level of relocated adolescents showed an overall increasing trend (slope = 0.16, p < 0.01), while the MHPs showed an overall decreasing trend (slope = −0.03, p < 0.01). (2) The initial PR level differed significantly from the initial MHPs level (β = −0.755, p = 0.00), and the rate of change in PR differed significantly from the rate of change in MHPs (β = −0.566, p = 0). The initial MHPs level differed significantly from that of PR (β = −0.732, p = 0.00), and the rate of change in MHPs differed significantly from the rate of change in PR (β = −0.514, p = 0.00). (3) Among the three sets of measurements of PR and MHPs, there were significant pairwise differences.Conclusion(1) The PR level of relocated adolescents increased over time, and the MHPs of relocated adolescents decreased over time. (2) The initial PR level of relocated adolescents had a negative predictive effect on the initial MHPs level, and the rate of change in PR had a negative predictive effect on the rate of change in MHPs. (3) The PR and MHPs of relocated adolescents exhibited a bidirectional, mutually influencing relationship.
