Self efficiency of resilience and moral self of self concept, self concept show significant positive correlation.Organization style of resilience, social support, subjective support and physical self show significant negative correlation while organization style of resilience and self-criticism show significant positive correlation. Socil ability of resilience, psychological self and self action show significant positive correlation while socil ability of resilience and self-criticism show significant negetive correlation.(6) Family cohesion of resilience and the three dimensions of the social support show significant positive correlation, and it also shows significant positive correlation with self concept scores, physical self moral self, psychological self, family self, self concept, self satisfaction and self action.(7) The self-concept of college instructors has significant predictive effects on resilience, to be specific, the self-concept can predict 2.2% of the amount of variation, and the moral-ethical self from self-concept can predict the 4.9% of the amount of variation of resilience.(8) The high and low resilience of college instructors show significant differences in moral-ethical self from self-concept. The level of moral self of instructors of higher resilience is higher than that of instructors of lower resilienceThe level of resilience of college instructors is the result of inside and outside protective factors that work together. From the conclusion of this study, the self-concept exerts deep influence on the resilience of college instructors, and some dimensions of social support also has certain impact on resilience. Therefore, to change wrong recognition, improve working environment and deepen the spread of approval and support is an effective way to increase the level of resilience of college instructors.
