Cognitive Beliefs and their Relationship to Psychological Flexibility among intermediate School Students.

The aim of the research was to assess the level of cognitive beliefs and psychological resilience among intermediate school students, as well as to examine the relationship between them. To achieve this, a ready-made scale for cognitive beliefs developed by (Albadrani, 2013) was adopted. Additionally, a scale for psychological resilience consisting of 35 items with three alternatives each was constructed. After extracting the psychometric properties of the scales, they were administered to a sample of 400 middle school students. Statistical analysis of the data indicated that middle school students have a high level of cognitive beliefs and psychological resilience, with a positive correlation between cognitive beliefs and psychological resilience. Based on these results, the researcher recommends that educators work on academically and scientifically motivating students to maintain their good levels of cognitive beliefs and psychological resilience. Furthermore, the researcher suggests conducting studies that include other research variables and their relationship with other variables among students from different educational levels and genders.
