Abstract

Our research examined the relationship between immeasurable (uninhibited) behavior, planned conscientious behavior and socially restricted behavior with a practice in which the ego resilience scale was used by international students for the first time in Turkey. In the study conducted between 04.01.2020-07.30.2020 during the covid-19 pandemic period, the ego resilience scale was used to measure the ability to adapt the level of ego control to different conditions. As a result of the study, on the ego resilience scale, women score more moderate and higher than men, in general, the ego resilience score gradually decreases as age progresses, and there is an inverse correlation between immeasurable (uninhibited) behavior and planned conscientious behavior and it has been found that immeasurable (uninhibited) behavior, socially restrained behavior, and education affect planned conscientious behavior.
