Abstract

The aim of this study was to predict psychological resilience by psychological well-being and its components. The research sample consisted of 216 girl students who were selected through multistage random sampling. The data were collected by implementing psychological resilience and psychological well- being questionnaire and analyzed by using Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regressions. A significant correlation coefficient was found between psychological resilience and overall psychological well – being (0.62, p<0.01). Resilience was also found to be positively and significantly related to all six dimensions of psychological well- being. The calculated determination coefficient (0.39) indicated that psychological well- being has the ability to predict psychological resilience. Results confirmed the impact of dimensions of psychological well- being on resilience among college students. It is likely that resilience and the psychological well- being reinforce one another in a cyclic manner. Individuals' psychological well- being maintained higher levels of resilient.
