This study conducted a cross-temporal meta-analysis of the mental resilience of Chinese adolescents, including 368 literatures from 2008 to 2020, involving 263,816 adolescents, and collected social macro indicators during the period. Research has found that: (1) Overall, the psychological resilience level of Chinese adolescents does not change with the passage of time. Among them, the psychological resilience level of malesremains unchanged, while the psychological resilience level of females shows a moderate downward trend. (2) Overall, the psychological resilience of adolescents is significantly correlated with the population growth rate three years ago and the growth rate of juvenile delinquency as a percentage of criminal offenses that year, but not with the indicator of residents’ consumption level. There is no significant correlation between gender and any of the three social indicators. This study explores the changing trends in the psychological resilience of Chinese adolescents over the past 13 years, and conducts corresponding analysis based on indicators of macro social development. It proposes possible future research directions and intervention suggestions, providing theoretical ideas and practical basis for intervening and regulating the psychological resilience of Chinese adolescents.
