| Abstract | In Slovakia, there has been an increase in the number of students who aim to move abroad. The main objective of this study was to explore whether factors such as emigration self-efficacy, evaluation of migration experience, frequency of migration experience and resilience are related to the emigration intentions of Slovak university students. We also explored mediational effect of emigration self-efficacy in the relationship between resilience and emigration intentions. The research sample consisted of 474 university students from Slovakia (M=22.4, SD=2.13) from which 76.8% were women, all participating in the Student Life Cohort Study (SLiCE 2016). We found that all factors have a positive unique effect on emigration intentions. Gender was not significant in relation to the emigration intentions. Later, we found that resilience positively predicts emigration intentions both directly and indirectly through emigration self-efficacy, which is a significant mediator of this relationship. These results contribute to a better understanding of the role of migration and personality factors in explaining emigration behaviour among young people in Slovakia. |
