Background: Resilience as the human capacity to overcome or adapt to adverse life situations has been widely given special attention in recent years. Objective: The main purpose of this research was to investigate the model of academic resilience model based on media literacy and innovative thinking with the mediating role of regulating academic emotions. Methods: The present research method was based on a quantitative strategy and descriptive-correlation technique. The statistical population of the current research was all the students of the universities of Kermanshah in the academic year 1400-1401 with a population of 34676 people. For this purpose, 335 students (193 women, 142 men) were randomly selected and answered the questionnaires of Phalsafi Media Literacy (2013), Innovative Thinking of Morad (2021), Regulation of Academic Emotions by Pekrun (2002), and Academic Resilience by Samuels (2004). The structural equation method was used for data analysis. Results: The structural equation modeling analysis indicated the acceptable fit of the model with the data. Also, the research findings showed that media literacy and innovative thinking have a direct effect on academic resilience. Also, these two variables predict academic resilience indirectly through the regulation of academic emotions. Therefore, to improve the academic resilience of students, it is necessary to focus on media literacy and innovative thinking and improve the regulation of their academic emotions.

Objective:The stress of academic expectations is the main cause of stress among students. The aim of the present study was to investigate the mediating role of school anxiety in the relationship between academic perfectionism and academic self-concept with academic expectations stress.Methods:The descriptive research method was correlation. A sample consisting of 390 students (289 girls, 101 boys) from three grades (7th, 8th, 9th) from public first secondary schools in one district of Shiraz were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling and responded to Academic expectations stress Inventory (Ang & Huan, 2006), academic perfectionism of Rasouli Soli and Bahrami (2015), School self-concept Inventory (Chen & Thompson, 2004) and school anxiety Scale (Philips, 1987).Results: Data analysis using the structural equation model showed that academic perfectionism and academic self-concept have a significant positive and negative direct effect on the stress of academic expectations, respectively. Also, the results showed that school anxiety does not have a significant direct effect on the stress caused by academic expectations, so it cannot play a mediating role in the relationship between academic perfectionism and academic self-concept with the academic expectations stress.Conclusion: In general, to reduce the stress caused by academic expectations in students, it is better to focus on strengthening self-concept and academic perfectionism and effective ways to deal with stress.
