Objective: To explore the key influencing factors of psychological resilience in vocational college students and validate the efficacy of a group counseling program based on positive psychology. Methods: A stratified sampling method was employed to select 2,186 students from four vocational colleges (two engineering, one finance, and one arts) in northern Guangxi. The study utilized the Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) and a self-designed influencing factors questionnaire. Multivariate linear regression analysis was conducted to identify influencing factors. An experimental-control group design was implemented, with 80 students receiving an 8-week “Three-Dimensional Empowerment” group counseling program. Results: Positive cognitive style (β=0.32), peer support (β=0.25), and skill confidence (β=0.21) were identified as core influencing factors. The experimental group showed a 23.6% increase in total psychological resilience scores and a 31.2% decrease in depression factor scores (p<0.01). Conclusion: The “Three-Dimensional Empowerment” group counseling program effectively enhances psychological resilience in vocational college students, providing a novel approach for mental health education in vocational education.
