  ABSTRACT: This study explores the association between preschoolers’ psychological resilience level and their family environment. Family environment refers to parenting style, parent’s education, household income, and number of siblings. Preschooler’s psychological resilience level has been measured by the Devereux Early Childhood Assessment for Preschoolers (DECA-P2). Family environment information has been collected through survey questionnaires. Chi-square test has been applied to check the association between variables of family environment and preschoolers’ psychological resiliency. The results indicate: 1) The resilience level of preschoolers is significantly associated with their number of siblings (p = 0.045); 2) The self-regulation ability and attachment ability of preschoolers are associated with their parent’s education level (p = 0.033; p = 0.038) and their age (p = 0.047; p = 0.048); 3) The resilience level of preschoolers doesn’t show significant association with their family income or with their gender. These findings suggest that preschooler’s psychological resilience level is related with some family environmental factors. The weak association between preschooler resilience and household income offers a hopeful message that transcends economic disparity. This study also reaffirms the prevalence of the democratic parenting style, which dwarfs the role of parenting style in preschooler’s psychological resilience level.
