This study examined the relationship between self-resilience and perceived stress among Generation Z in Semarang City. A quantitative correlational design with a cross-sectional survey approach was employed. The study involved 70 Generation Z participants who lived, studied, or worked in Semarang City. Self-resilience was measured using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale 25 (CD-RISC 25), while perceived stress was assessed using the Perceived Stress Scale 10 (PSS-10). Data were analyzed using SPSS 26 through descriptive statistics, validity and reliability tests, normality testing, and Pearson product-moment correlation. The results showed a significant negative relationship between self-resilience and perceived stress (r = -0.630; p = 0.000), indicating that higher self-resilience was associated with lower perceived stress. These findings suggest that self-resilience is an important psychological resource for helping Generation Z cope with academic, occupational, social, and urban life pressures.
