摘要：Economic crisis is a global phenomenon. When the cycle hits, many people are affected. However, the intensity of the effect may vary from one person to another, depending on the individual financial resilience. This study seeks to empirically examine what factors of financial literacy contribute to individual financial resilience in facing economic changes during economic crisis. A correlational study with cross-sectional research design and a survey as a method of data collection were used. A total of 200 completed questionnaires were obtained and only 197 data was valid for data analysis. The findings indicate while all factors relating to financial literacy investigated were significantly associated with individual resilience, the results of the regression test indicate only preference for numerical information and need for cognition were found to be significantly contribute to the individual financial resilience during economic crisis. Therefore, financial literacy is vital to be absorbed in every individual to build resilience towards economic changes during the economic crisis.
