Abstract: Abstract The current paper examines whether resilience-promoting interventions lead to increased self-reported resilience relative to a control group. The literature search was conducted using terms “resilience intervention” OR “promoting resilience” OR “promoting resiliency” OR “resilience-based intervention”. A total of 83 studies were included in the meta-analysis and systematic review. The quality of studies was evaluated based on sample size, appropriateness of statistical analyses, and protocol for intervention adoption. Moderation models examined effects of study characteristics (study rigour), delivery characteristics (mode of intervention [e.g., self-guided], mode of delivery [e.g., in-person] and format [e.g., group-based]), and resilience characteristics (type of resilience [e.g., coping] and resilience process) on outcomes. Findings indicated that resilience-promoting interventions significantly improved resilience relative to controls, Hedges’ g = 0.72 (SE = 0.07, 95% CI = [0.59, 0.85], Z = 10.61, p
