Predictor variables that affect the resilience of university students: The effect of chronotypes.

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of chronotypes and other variables as predictors of resilience in university students. Method: The study was conducted with 1040 students studying at Ege University in Turkey. Results: The mean total Adult Resilience Scale (ARS) score of the students was found to be 120.23 ± 17.54 and the mean total score of the Morningness‐Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ) was 47.56 ± 8.95 and 63.0% of the students had intermediate type chronotype. It was determined that the variables explaining 21.9% of the ARS were the students' gender, school, income status, health assessment, and MEQ subtypes. Conclusion: It was concluded that the students' resilience was above the average, that more than half of them had the intermediate type chronotype, and that the independent variables determined in the study partially explained their psychological resilience.
