Resilience, life satisfaction, COVID-19, adultsAbstract
Concern about the psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is reflected in the growing number of investigations being carried out. This study aimed to measure the levels of resilience and life satisfaction in a sample of the adult population (n = 572) and to understand which variables may be related to the ability to cope and subjective well-being. The results indicate that measures of depression are negatively related to resilience (r = -.404) and life satisfaction (r = -.427), and measures of anxiety are also negatively related to resilience (r = -.308) and life satisfaction (r = -.426). The ANOVA shows statistically significant differences (p < .01) between resilience and life satisfaction, with the variables social relationships, leisure time and expectations of the future impact of the pandemic. These results can help us design and implement measures that promote well-being
