Abstract:

The objective of the research was to determine the resilience capacity according to belief in God and sex in university students from Ecuador with a quantitative approach, not an experimental cross-sectional one. The data collection was carried out through a survey accompanied by the resilience questionnaire for university students CRE - U, (Peralta, Ramirez, Castano, 2006) applied to a sample of 280 university students, 39.60% distributed very believing, 55.7% believers and 4.60% atheist The male gender represented 23.2% and the female 76.8%. The variables that demonstrated statistical significance were applied the HSD test of Tukey and Games-Howell (5%). The results show that the majority of Ecuadorian students are very believers in God and therefore reach a very significant level of resilience, with the male gender prevailing specifically in the constructs of interaction, initiative, creativity, critical thinking and family over the female gender that only manifested significance in introspection.
