Description
Caixiang Chen surveyed in 2026 925 Chinese college students on bounce-back ability, job anxiety and aggressive behavior. Ego-resiliency, the capacity to adapt under stress, was tied to less perceived aggression. Part of that link ran through employment anxiety: students with stronger resilience worried less about jobs, and calmer students reported less aggression. Gender shaped the path.
The link from resilience to job anxiety ran stronger in women than in men. The model used questionnaires on all three traits in students averaging about nineteen years old. The author connects the results to campus violence concerns that motivate the work. Programs that build resilience and ease job fears may cut aggressive behavior. The gender split suggests support should be tuned rather than one-size-fits-all. The study adds a mechanism to a well-known correlation.
