Relationships among Resilience, Social Support, Coping, and Psychological Well-Being among University Studentss

The purpose of this study was to examine relationships among resilience, social support, coping, and psychological well-being in university students. Data were gathered on 309 students who are studying at the Trakya University. Participants completed several instruments: the Flourishing Scale, Resilience Scale, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, Ways of Coping Inventory, and a demographic information form. Correlation, standard multiple regression, and hierarchical regression analyses were performed on the data. Signifi cant relationships were found among study variables. Results of regression analyses indicated that psychological well-being was statistically predicted by resilience, coping, and social support from family, friends, and from signifi cant others. Results of the mediation analysis revealed that social support and coping skills partially mediated the relationship between resilience and psychological well-being. The implications were discussed in the light of existing literature, and suggestions were made for college counselors
