Abstract The present study focus on the influence of psycological factors on the exhibition of resilience in selected university of Ibadan undergraduates from the south-western part of Nigeria. From the study it has been observed that high self-esteem, internal locus of control and effective utilization of intra and extra-familial social support influenced resiliency among the university undergraduates in the south-western Nigeria. There is need for parents no matter their level of education and socioeconomic status to build up the self-esteem of their children and to be responsive to their needs in whichever way they can as these go a long way to ensure the success of the youths later in life. There is also need for the development of social support policy by the government
