A Literature Review: Relationship between Resilience And Well-Being Among Adolescents and Early Adults

Abstract

Well-being in general includes aspects of social, physical and mental health where this coverage includes the concepts of positive emotions and life satisfaction. Adolescence and early adulthood are critical periods where various mental health problems emerge, including mood and substance disorders. Late adolescents and early adults reported higher levels of stress than middle-aged and older adults. So resilience, the ability to adapt and recover from life's difficulties, is important for the well-being of adolescents and early adults. The aim of this literature study is to find out whether there is a relationship between resilience and well-being in adolescents and early adults. This research uses a literature review to collect data. Literature reviews were searched using electronic databases and published between 2011 and 2023 using specific keywords. The number of literature reviews obtained from the search results was 9 international journal articles from 5 countries. The literature review showed a moderate and positive relationship between resilience and well-being (subjective well-being and psychological well-being) with an average correlation coefficient value of r = 0.54 and a significant value of p < 0.01. It can be concluded that there is a moderate and positive relationship found between resilience and well-being in adolescents and early adults.
