Abstract

This study explores the complex interplay between Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), resilience, perceived stress, and their collective impact on academic success among undergraduate students. It aims to assess the prevalence of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and investigate how they correlate with academic outcomes. The research focuses on the mediating role of resilience and the moderating effect of perceived stress in this relationship. Utilizing a quantitative approach, this study seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of these dynamics and their implications for educational policies and mental health interventions. The goal is to inform strategies that enhance resilience, reduce stress, and support academic success in students affected by ACEs.
