To study the effect of university instructors’ using group counseling skills to promote college students’ resilience, and to explore the feasibility and effectiveness of university instructors’ psychological education from the perspective of resilience. 53 volunteers were recruited from a university in Shanghai and divided into experimental group (29 persons) and control group (24 persons) according to the time matching. The experimental group received group counseling intervention once a week, a total of 6 times, while the control group did not receive any intervention. The group counseling program is based on the theory of resilience, developed and led by university instructors, and supervised by the psychological counseling center of that university. The Chinese version of Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), Purpose in life Test (PIL) and General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) were used to evaluate the two groups of subjects before and after the intervention. Results shows that: (1) Before the intervention, there was no significant difference between the experimental group and the control group in the scores of CD-RISC, PIL and GSES (p>0.05); (2) After 6 weeks of group counseling, the scores of CD-RISC, PIL and GSES in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group (t=2.484, t=2.454, t=3.322, p<0.05), and also significantly higher than those in the pretest (t=-4.528, t=-2.076, t=-2.187, p<0.05); (3) The lower the level of pretest resilience, the more obvious the improvement of resilience and self-efficacy after intervention (r=-0.437, r=-0.559, p<0.05). The lower the level of pretest meaning of life, the more significant the improvement of resilience, meaning of life and self-efficacy after intervention (r=-0.465, r=-0.763, r=-0.447, p<0.05). The lower the level of pretest self-efficacy, the more significant the self-efficacy was after the intervention (r=-0.486, p<0.01). This shows, under the theoretical support and professional supervision, the resilience group psychological counseling carried out by university instructors as leaders can significantly improve college students’ resilience, meaning of life and self-efficacy, especially for students with low previous resilience, meaning of life and self-efficacy.
