Abstract:
The general purpose of the study is to provide a quantitative summary of the findings of studies that address the psychological resilience levels of individuals in terms of gender differences. This study includes a review of the relevant literature, the stages of meta-analysis research, analysis findings got from the included studies, discussions on the results of the findings, and finally recommendations for future psychological resilience research. Because of the literature review, 30 thesis and article-type researches were selected for meta-analysis under the inclusion criteria of the study. The effect size was calculated for each study using the non-standardized mean difference method. It was concluded that there was no publication bias in the studies selected according to the funnel plot and Egger test findings. As a result of the analysis made according to the random effects model, it was determined that the effect size for gender has a significant effect on the psychological resilience level of the individuals, and the results are in favor of men. Because of the heterogeneity test, a moderate level of heterogeneity was found between studies. Reasons for this heterogeneity were the type of publication, the study group, the way the data were collected, and the total number of participants. It was found that only the study group variable among these variables can lead to heterogeneity.
