The purpose of this quantitative study is to investigate the relationship between college students' social and emotional skills and their resilience. The study uses data collected from 1,411 students from urban universities to draw conclusions about this relationship. Resilience is essential for students to overcome personal, social, and academic challenges; this research investigates how students' emotional regulation, interpersonal skills, and social competence relate to resilience. Using a five-point Likert scale, a structured questionnaire was administered to assess emotional capabilities (including stress tolerance and emotional awareness) and social capacities (including empathy and interpersonal skills). They further collected demographic information such as age, gender, marital status, level of education, place of residence, and technical ability to investigate any differences or patterns between subgroups. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to examine the resilience levels of the participants and find any significant differences in social and emotional skills. The results demonstrated a favourable correlation between emotional and social intelligence and resilience. Students with stronger social and emotional skills fared better under pressure and were more resilient when setbacks occurred. Students who were better able to control their emotions and interact with others were more able to deal with stress and bounce back from failure. There was no change in resilience based on gender or marital status, but there were differences based on education level and living environment. Researchers found that students' emotional and social intelligence significantly predicted their resilience. To increase students' mental health, academic resilience, and overall psychological robustness, these findings emphasise the importance of colleges and universities promoting the development of students' emotional and social skills....
