This research investigates how two important psychological concepts--mindfulness and locus of control--interact to shape college students' resilience. Based on the positive psychology model, the study looks at how a student's beliefs in personal control (locus of control) and present-moment awareness (mindfulness) help them to bounce back from setbacks (resilience) and fit to stress. Data were gathered from a total of 104 undergraduate students aged 18 to 25 using standardized instruments: the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS), the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ), and a modified Locus of Control Scale. Statistical analysis, including Pearson's correlation and multiple regression, revealed that locus of control significantly predicts resilience, while mindfulness did not show a statistically significant effect. 10.6% of the variation in resilience was explained by the combined model. These results imply that rather than mindfulness, internal control beliefs are more important in fostering resilience among students. The study emphasizes the need of interventions aimed at boosting psychological resilience in academic contexts by means of personal agency and perceived control
