ABSTRACT = {<b>Background:</b> University students’ ego-identity, an essential component of their psychological development and mental health, has
widely attracted the attention of policymakers, schools, and parents.<b> Method: </b>A total of 298 Chinese vocational pathway
undergraduates were recruited, and a conditional process analysis model was adopted to explore the interaction mechanism of
ego-identity. <b>Results: </b>The results suggest that the ego-identity of Chinese vocational pathway undergraduates is significantly
affected by interaction anxiousness, academic resilience, and cultural intelligence. (1) Interaction anxiousness significantly and
positively predicts ego-identity. (2) Academic resilience positively and partially mediates the effect of interaction anxiousness
on ego-identity. (3) Cultural intelligence significantly and positively moderates the relationship between interaction
anxiousness and ego-identity. However, a similar moderating effect was not found between interaction anxiousness and
academic resilience. (4) As cultural intelligence increases, the negative influence of interaction anxiousness on ego-identity
gradually diminishes, whatever the cultural intelligence level. <b>Conclusions:</b> Interaction anxiousness, academic resilience, and
cultural intelligence are essential determinants of ego-identity among Chinese vocational pathway undergraduates. Strategic
interventions should be utilized to enhance their abilities to alleviate interpersonal tensions, promote their resilience in facing
academic difficulties, cope with diverse cultures, and boost their sense of self-confirmation.},
