This study explores the relationship between trait emotional self-efficacy (trait EI),
resilience, and flourishing among adolescents, with a particular focus on the mediating
role of resilience. Data were collected from 170 senior secondary students (ages 14-
17) from schools in Varanasi, India, using self-report questionnaires- TEIQue-ASF,
Scale for protective factor and PERMA Profiler for mentioned variables. Results revealed
significant positive correlations between trait EI, resilience, and flourishing, with resilience
showing the strongest link to flourishing. A multiple regression analysis indicated that
resilience is a stronger predictor of flourishing than Trait EI while trait EI indirectly
affects flourishing through resilience. Mediation analysis, Further confirmed that
resilience mediates the relationship between trait EI and flourishing, suggesting that
fostering resilience can enhance overall well-being. These findings highlight the
importance of resilience in promoting flourishing, with implications for interventions
aimed at enhancing emotional self-efficacy and resilience to improve adolescents’ wellbeing.
Future research should explore longitudinal designs and consider other
contributing factors like social support and personality traits
