Abstract
Objectives: To investigate the correlation between psychological resilience and well-being, considering various demographic factors within a Saudi society.
Methods: This study was carried out in King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia from January to March 2023. A total of 746 male and female participants aged 18 and above were surveyed. We used a comparative, descriptive, correlational research method to achieve the study objectives, utilizing Conner and Davidson's resilience measure and Ryff's well-being scale for data collection. The statistical methods employed included Spearman's correlation coefficient, t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Mann-Whitney U, and Kruskal-Wallis tests.
Results: The study revealed a positive link between psychological resilience and well-being, emphasizing their significance in mental health concepts and quality of life. Furthermore, there were notable differences among males and females and various economic- and education-level groups concerning psychological resilience and well-being.
Conclusion: Psychological resilience and well-being are essential variables that warrant consideration in future mental health research.
