The objective of this study was to research the link between self-esteem and resilience in Chinese college students, while also considering the potential moderating influence of gender. A total of 210 questionnaires were collected using an online survey, all of which were deemed legitimate. The data obtained from the questionnaire results was analyzed in this study using IBM SPSS Statistics. Descriptive statistics, linear regression, and moderated effects analysis were employed to examine the relationships and interactions among the various elements under investigation. The findings of the study suggest that there exists a noteworthy and favorable association between self-esteem and adaptability, with gender playing a substantial role as a moderator. The correlation among self-esteem and resilience showed a greater degree of significance within the female cohort as opposed to the male cohort. The results of this study highlight the considerable impact of self-esteem on resilience and provide valuable perspectives on gender roles. This study presents various solutions aimed at augmenting resilience levels among university students in China. By considering the impact of social and cultural circumstances on individuals' self-perceptions, it becomes possible to formulate more comprehensive interventions tailored to certain age and gender cohorts.
