Abstract :

The aim of the present study is to evaluate the social efficiency model of students with regard to uncertainty tolerance and psychological adaptability, considering the mediating role of resilience. This research is descriptive-correlational in nature. The statistical population includes all students in Tabriz County, which, according to the statistics of the Education Department in 2023, comprises a total of 692,868 individuals. Using Cochran’s formula, the sample size was calculated to be 330; however, considering the possibility of sample attrition, 400 individuals were selected. Sampling was conducted using a multi-stage cluster method. Data collection tools included the Social Efficiency Questionnaire, the Uncertainty Tolerance Questionnaire, the Cognitive Flexibility Inventory, and the Resilience Scale. SPSS software was used for descriptive statistics, and AMOS software was employed to test the hypotheses using structural equation modeling. The results indicated that the Sobel test statistic for the path "uncertainty tolerance → resilience → social efficiency" was 10.459 with a p-value less than 0.05, indicating a statistically significant indirect effect. Likewise, the Sobel test statistic for the path "psychological adaptability → resilience → social efficiency" was 17.135 with a p-value less than 0.05, also indicating a significant indirect effect.
