| Popis: | Resilience is the ability to overcome life's adversities while simultaneously growing stronger in the process. One context in which individuals face challenges is the university environment. This study aimed to (a) assess the predictive effect of variables such as age, gender, socioeconomic status, and estimated weekly recreation hours on overall resilience scores, and (b) evaluate the predictive value of age, gender, socioeconomic status, and resilience on weekly recreation hours among students at the Central Campus of the National Technical University. A total of 167 students participated, with an average age of 22.8 years. The study employed a descriptive, cross-sectional design with a quantitative approach. Two instruments were used: one for general information and the SVRES 60-item scale to measure resilience. The linear regression model for overall resilience scores found an R² of 0.058, representing 5.8% variance. The analysis was not significant (F = 1.653, p = 0.136), indicating that the six variables together did not significantly predict overall resilience scores. Gender was the only variable that significantly predicted resilience scores (Bootstrap coefficient = 8.98, p = 0.044). For the dependent variable of weekly recreation hours, an R² of 0.115 was found, explaining 11.5% variance. This analysis was significant (F = 3.46, p = 0.003). Two variables were significant predictors of weekly recreation hours: residential support (Bootstrap coefficient = -6.18, p = 0.01) and employment status (Bootstrap coefficient = -5.916, p = 0.01). The findings support the theory that resilience is a multidimensional variable influenced by factors such as gender. Assessing the impact of students' socioeconomic status on recreation hours and various aspects of university life is crucial for designing recreational activities that foster resilience within the student community. |
