Currently, many scholars probe into the pairwise relation among PBJW, resilience, and TSR, but investigating the relation among these 3 elements as a whole may provide more theoretical insights. In view of the current research states, this study analyzes the relation among adolescents\u2019 PBJW, resilience, and TSR, and verifies the mediating roles of TSR between PBJW and resilience.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study employs questionnaire surveys and structural equation modeling to conduct the research. 1781 senior high school students in G province in China participated in this study.
