Ego-resilience and psychological well-being was higher than the average, which were the median values. Third, the mediating effects of hope were identified in the relationship between school physical education participation and academic stress in the students. Partial mediating effects of hope were identified in the relationships between school physical education participation, Ego-resilience and psychological well-being.
