Numerous resilience scales evaluate various factors related to resilience, but assessing these alone cannot determine the effectiveness of psychological resilience interventions. This study distinguishes between background factors and psychological resilience as an outcome, aiming to compile a psychological resilience scale for college students, conduct pretests and formal tests, and explore performance influences. Descriptive statistics, t-tests, and other analyses examined the effects of personal background factors on resilience and their relative influence. The results showed: 1.The formal questionnaire had strong explanatory power, reliability, and validity 2.Significant gender differences existed in resilience 3.Grades showed no significant differences 4.Club participation significantly influenced resilience. 5.Religious belief had no significant effect. 6.Sports habits had no significant effect. 7.Fathers’ (male caregivers’) influence significantly affected resilience. 8.Mothers’ (female caregivers’) impact was also significant. 9.Overall resilience levels showed significant positive correlations across all dimensions. 10.Different levels of the resilience scale could predict overall resilience. Based on these findings, recommendations were provided for relevant authorities, schools, teachers, and future research to enhance psychological resilience education and practice for college students.
