The notions of metacognition and ego-resilienc seem to commonly represent an ability to adaptively adjust self-control to fit the requirements of environments. The latter presents a general mechanism of adaptive adjustment while the former presents a specific example of learning activity. As ego-resiliency was almost fully indicated by the General Factor of Personality (GFP) as the literature suggested, the present study tested the relationship between the GFP and metacognition and then compared their influences on learning adaptation. As found, the GFP highly overlapped with overall metacognition ( = 0.69). Within the three dimensions of metacognition, metacognitive skills correlated with the GFP much higher than metacognitive knowledge and experience, suggesting that the GFP is more linked with the application of metacognition in learning. By comparison, the GFP displayed much higher correlations with metacognitive skills and experience as well as learning adaptation than any Big Five traits, showing its incremental power in correlation with those variables. More importantly, in the mediation model, the GFP was found to be the root reason for the outcomes of learning adaptation and accounted for most of the impact of metacognition on learning adaptation. With these findings, the limitations of the present study and suggestions for future studies were discussed.
元认知和自我复原力的概念似乎通常代表一种能力，即能够适应性地调整自我控制以符合环境的要求。后者呈现了一种适应性调整的一般机制，而前者呈现了学习活动的一个具体例子。正如文献所表明的，自我复原力几乎完全由人格一般因素（GFP）所体现，本研究测试了GFP与元认知之间的关系，然后比较了它们对学习适应性的影响。研究发现，GFP与整体元认知高度重叠（r = 0.69）。在元认知的三个维度中，元认知技能与GFP的相关性远高于元认知知识和经验，这表明GFP与元认知在学习中的应用联系更为紧密。相比之下，GFP与元认知技能和经验以及学习适应性的相关性比任何大五人格特质都要高得多，显示出其在与这些变量相关性方面的增量作用。更重要的是，在中介模型中，发现GFP是学习适应性结果的根本原因，并且占元认知对学习适应性影响的大部分。基于这些发现，讨论了本研究的局限性以及对未来研究的建议。
