Academic buoyancy has been defined as a capacity to overcome setbacks, challenges,
and difficulties that are part of everyday academic life. Academic resilience has been
defined as a capacity to overcome acute and/or chronic adversity that is seen as a major
threat to a student’s educational development. This study is the first to examine the
extent to which (a) academic buoyancy and academic resilience are distinct (but correlated)
factors, and (b) academic buoyancy is more relevant to low-level negative outcomes
(anxiety, uncertain control, failure avoidance), whereas academic resilience is
more relevant to major negative outcomes (self-handicapping, disengagement). The
findings, based on 918 Australian high school students from nine schools, showed
that academic buoyancy and academic resilience represented distinct factors sharing
approximately 35% variance. Also, academic buoyancy was more salient in negatively
predicting low-level negative outcomes whereas academic resilience was more salient in
negatively predicting major negative outcomes. In supplementary analyses, the effect of
academic buoyancy on low-level negative outcomes tended to be direct, whereas the
effect of academic buoyancy on major negative outcomes was mediated by academic
resilience. Implications for practice and research are discussed.
