The Role of Metacognitive Awareness and Self-compassion in Enhancing Resilience among Individuals Preparing for High-stakes Examinations

Author(s) Ms. D. Densha Rani, Ms. Yuvasri
Country India
Abstract High-stakes examinations often place individuals under intense pressure, and this strain can gradually weaken their capacity to cope throughout the preparation period. This conceptual paper explores two psychological factors that may help learners handle such challenges more effectively: metacognitive awareness, or the ability to notice and manage one’s own thinking, and self-compassion, which involves treating oneself with understanding rather than harsh criticism during difficult moments. Although both ideas have been discussed widely in separate lines of research, their combined role in shaping resilience during exam preparation has received far less attention. This paper brings these perspectives together and proposes a framework that explains how they might jointly support people preparing for demanding examinations. By linking these constructs, the paper suggests that metacognitive awareness and self-compassion can work in complementary ways to promote emotional steadiness, healthier stress responses, and more adaptive learning habits. The discussion concludes with implications for learners, educators, and future researchers interested in strengthening resilience in high-pressure academic environments.
