The Mediating Role of Mental Well-Being Between Psychological Resilience, Life Satisfaction and Emotional Intelligence

Mental well-being holds significance throughout all phases of life, spanning from early years and adolescence to adulthood. The purpose of this research was to investigate the potential mediating effect of psychological well-being on the relationship between emotional intelligence, life satisfaction, and psychological resilience, which are all dependent variables. The research sample comprised 317 university students who volunteered their time, of which 303 were female, and 14 were male. The findings indicate that mental well-being completely mediates the relationship between emotional intelligence and life satisfaction, and it partially mediates the relationship between emotional intelligence and psychological resilience. Assuming a high level of mental well-being, the model concluded that individuals with high or low emotional intelligence experience greater life satisfaction and psychological resilience. It is anticipated that individuals whose psychological resilience and life satisfaction are enhanced when their mental health is supported and strengthened, such as those with a particular degree of emotional intelligence, will experience a positive impact on their life trajectory.
