In Favor of My Resilient Self- Effects of an Academic Course on the Emotional Resilience of Students.

The online Bachelor's degree course " In Favor of My Resilient Self" provides updated information regarding the term 'emotional resilience' and its mediating factors. Through weekly lessons and assignments, it will guide participants to developing an internal perspective on their strength sources, as well as practice self-calming and self-controlling exercises. The main goals of the course are to: 1. Measure the effects on the emotional resilience and confidence of participants. 2. Assess differences in the course's affect on students from the faculty of sciences compared with students from the faculty of social studies. 3. Understand the mechanisms of the effects. Results will be measured using the study questionnaire, to be filled out by the participants before, after, and three months after the completion of the course. The questionnaire will include validated questionnaires with good psychometric qualities. The study protocol was approved by Tel Hai College institutional review board. All participants, in the intervention (course participants) and in the control group (students of both faculties that didn't attend the course), received information about the program and the study and were asked to provide informed consent.
