Abstract
The present study aimed to examine the relationship between
resilience and psychological wellbeing in university women hostelites.
Correlational research strategy was used in the study. One hundred and
eleven women hostelites (N=111) from different hostels of Punjab
University were included in the study. Socio-demographic form, State
and Trait Resilience Scale and Ryff Scale of Psychological WellBeing were used for assessment. Descriptive analysis revealed food
and cleanliness as major problems while internet and interference or
any conflicts with roommates were reported as minor issues.
Regarding solutions the most popular highlighted responses were „no
solution‟, „ignoring‟ and „talking to the Warden‟. Talking to friends or
going home at weekends were the least mentioned solutions. Most of
the hostelites students reported satisfactory relationships with
roommates, warden, and superintendent. Pearson Product Moment
Analysis revealed significant positive relationship between resilience
and psychological well-being. Trait resilience significantly and
positively predicted psychological well-being (autonomy,
environmental mastery and self-acceptance). The study can help to
determine resilience promoting factors which would also enhance
psychological wellbeing of hostelite students.
