Resilience benefits female students
FEMALE students with high resilience levels are likely to out-perform their male counterparts academically, Leeds Metropolitan University research suggests.
More than 1,500 first year students were profiled for their psychological resilience as they came to university.
Early analysis indicated that the link between resilience and academic performance was similar across all student cohorts.
However, they then revealed an important gender difference, with resilience having more positive effects in female students than males.
