Abstract The purpose of this study was to inform fundamental data to develop educational method and programs to address life stresses effectively by surveying the life stress, emotional intelligence, and ego-resilience of university students majoring in medical science and natural science and investigating the effects of mediating variable of emotional intelligence on the ego-resilience. The SPSS win24.0 was used in analysis. The differences in general characteristics, and levels of life stress, emotional intelligence, and self-resilience between groups were analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, and Scheffé test and the correlations among life stress, emotional intelligence, and self-resilience were determined by Pearson's correlation coefficients. The regression analysis was performed to determine the effects of life stress and emotional intelligence on self-intelligence of participant. The results showed that the life stress mediated partially the relationship between life stress and ego-resilience, meaning that the higher life stress is correlated with higher emotional intelligence and ego-resilience and that the emotional intelligence increased with ego-resilience. The studies that employ behavior variables other than cognitive and emotional ones that affect the life stress of university students are required and the results of this study are need to be supported more strongly by empirical evidences from larger samples.
