While in the past the concept of resilience was used to explain psychological well-being in extreme situations like enduring poverty, abuse, or war, it has now found broad application in numerous fields of research. It can also be applied to examine how everyday challenges and problems are dealt with, for example in the educational and university context. This raises the question of whether resilience and academic success are correlated. Using German longitudinal data including university and university of applied sciences students in their first four years (2010-2015) we investigate how resilience and various measurements of success (satisfaction, intention to drop out, grades) are correlated using multilevel growth-curve models. We demonstrate that resilient individuals have consistently more positive academic trajectories, have lower dropout intentions, report better grades and are more satisfied with their lives. The effects are exceptionally stable over time, statistically highly significant and of considerable magnitude. This demonstrates that resilience is associated with better outcomes in university students under control of a large number of potential confounding factors and influences.
过去，复原力的概念用于解释在诸如忍受贫困、遭受虐待或经历战争等极端情况下的心理健康状况，如今它已在众多研究领域得到广泛应用。它还可用于考察如何应对日常挑战和问题，例如在教育和大学环境中。这就引出了一个问题，即复原力与学业成功是否相关。利用包含大学和应用科学大学学生头四年（2010 - 2015年）的德国纵向数据，我们使用多层次增长曲线模型研究复原力与各种成功指标（满意度、辍学意愿、成绩）之间的相关性。我们证明，具有复原力的个体始终拥有更积极的学业轨迹，辍学意愿更低，成绩更好，对生活也更满意。随着时间推移，这些影响异常稳定，在统计学上高度显著且幅度相当大。这表明在控制大量潜在混杂因素和影响的情况下，复原力与大学生更好的学业成果相关。
