Synopsis

               When the definitions in the literature are examined, psychological resilience can be defined as "the individual's ability to recover, resist and adapt to difficulties despite difficult life events that cause intense emotions and thoughts." Although psychological resilience is close to the theory of positive psychology, it is an important concept when we consider the entire science of psychology. Because while all sciences strive for human well-being, psychological resilience has an important place in the studies carried out by the science of psychology on this subject. All people face various difficulties in life. These difficulties may vary depending on various variables such as individuals' age, gender, and socioeconomic status. In this study, the psychological resilience of students preparing for the High School Entrance Exam and the Higher Education Institutions Entrance Exam during the exam preparation process was discussed. First of all, definitions of psychological resilience were put forward, and then similarities and differences were revealed. Afterwards, the protective factors and risk factors affecting the psychological resilience of individuals were discussed in terms of individual, family and environmental context. In addition to these, suggestions were given for the family, education staff and students involved in the exam process. In the last part of the study, the BASIC PH model which was developed by Mooli Lahad and his friends (1997), which is an effective method in studies on improving psychological resilience, was focused on. In today's world where the meaning attached to exams is at high levels, studies on individuals involved in the exam preparation process will have an important place in mental health studies.
