| Sumario: | Ego resilience reflects the capacity to adapt to stress and change, being a transversal competence necessary in university education. The objectives of this study were to compare the levels of ego resilience and to establish significant differences according to gender among university students from public and private institutions in Argentina (n = 201), Chile (n = 183) and Colombia (n = 241), who were chosen by means of a purposive, non-probabilistic sampling. The Argentine version of the Ego Resilience Scale, which measures optimal regulation and openness to life experience, was used. High levels of both dimensions were found in Chilean and Colombian students compared to Argentinian students, and differences in optimal regulation were found to be favourable in men. An influence of cultural factors in the development of this transversal competence is observed and its benefits for university education are highlighted. |
