Abstract
Aim: With the pervasive influence of information technology, contemporary university students encounter significant techno-stress challenges. This stress can recipitate various psychological issues, prompting students to adopt resilience and coping strategies to mitigate these technological pressures. This study aims to achieve two main objectives: firstly, to investigate the mediating role of coping strategies; and secondly, to examine the influence of resilience and coping strategies on techno-stress among 280 undergraduate students, comprising 137 from a private institution and 143 from five public institutions. Method: The study utilized the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), the Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ), and a Techno-stress Scale, with Cronbach's alpha coefficients of 0.899, 0.736, and 0.906, respectively, indicating strong internal consistency. Descriptive statistics and regression analysis were employed for data analysis. Results: The Bootstrap 95% confidence interval for the mediating effect (-0.23 to-0.08) excludes zero, signifying a statistically significant mediating role. The proportion of this mediating effect to the total effect is 48.39%, affirming coping strategies' mediation in the relationship between resilience and techno-stress. Conclusion: The impact of resilience and coping strategies on techno-stress among Chinese students was statistically significant at the 0.05 level (F=32.08, df=6, 273, p=0.00). These findings underscore the importance of addressing psychological factors contributing to techno-stress among Chinese university students, advocating for the enhancement of resilience and the adoption of effective coping strategies to alleviate students' techno-stress burden.
