Abstract: This conceptual study aims to explore the level of psychological resilience among students, to examine the relationship between psychological resilience and sustainable development attitudes and to identify innovative educational practices that can strengthen psychological resilience. The conceptual study reviewed meta-analyses, cross-sectional surveys and intervention-based research on university and college students, examining psychological resilience, mindfulness, socio-emotional learning, academic and emotional functioning and sustainability attitudes. Both quantitative and qualitative findings from empirical studies and systematic reviews were analyzed to identify predictors and effective educational practices for fostering resilience. Studies reviewed from peer-reviewed academic journals. Reviews showed that students generally exhibit moderate to high psychological resilience. Positive correlations observed between resilience, academic performance, well-being, and sustainability-oriented attitudes. Effective resiliencebuilding strategies include mindfulness programs, socio-emotional learning, positive education, and supportive learning environments. Integrating resilience-building practices with sustainability education fosters adaptive, responsible, and future-oriented students capable of contributing to long term sustainable development.
