Abstract

This study investigates the interconnectedness of resilience, mindfulness, and emotional agility, and their combined effects on well-being and positive relationships in challenging times. Amid the pressures of contemporary life, individuals often struggle to cultivate essential skills that are vital for emotional health. Employing a quantitative, cross-sectional design, data were collected from 400 adults aged 18 to 65 through online surveys, utilizing standardized instruments to measure resilience, mindfulness, emotional agility, well-being, and relationship quality. Results revealed significant positive correlations among these constructs, with emotional agility mediating the relationship between resilience and well-being (β = 0.32, p < 0.01). Higher levels of resilience and mindfulness were associated with improved well-being (β = 0.42, p < 0.001; β = 0.36, p < 0.001). The findings emphasize the need for integrating training in these areas within mental health practices and highlight the necessity of future longitudinal studies to explore these relationships further, addressing limitations such as reliance on self-reported measures.
