Abstract
This study examines the correlation between resilience and quality of life domains amongmiddle-aged adults. Results reveal significant positive correlations between resilience andPsychological Health (r = 0.409, p < 0.001), Social Relationships (r = 0.265, p < 0.05), andEnvironment (r = 0.325, p < 0.001). Psychological Health encompasses mental well-being,including aspects such as emotional stability, self-esteem, and coping mechanisms. The studyhighlights how individuals with higher resilience scores tend to report better psychologicalhealth outcomes, indicating a protective effect against stressors and psychological distress.Similarly, Social Relationships encompass the quality of interactions with family, friends,and the broader community. The findings suggest that resilient individuals may experiencegreater social support, stronger social networks, and improved interpersonal relationships,contributing to overall well-being. Environment refers to the physical and social context inwhich individuals live, work, and engage in daily activities. Resilient middle-aged adults aremore likely to perceive their environment as supportive, safe, and conducive to their wellbeing, leading to higher quality of life ratings in this domain. However, the study indicates aweak correlation between physical health and resilience among this demographic. Thesefindings highlight the influential role of resilience in shaping individuals’ perceptions of wellbeing across various aspects of their lives. Furthermore, the lack of substantial correlationwith physical health underscores the complex impact of resilience on somatic well-being inmiddle-aged adults. This research sheds light on the nuanced relationship between resilienceand quality of life, offering valuable insights into how resilience affects specific domains ofwell-being.
