摘要：The COVID-19 pandemic, which has affected the entire world, has caused and is still causing mental problems in people. Studies on psychological resilience play a significant role in reducing and preventing mental problems that may result from the pandemic. This study aims to determine the variables that predict psychological resilience levels of individuals during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study, which is quantitatively designed and utilizes correlation technique, uses “Biographical Information Form,” “Brief Psychological Resilience Scale” and “Depression, Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21)” as data collection instruments. The study group consists of 237 adults from 31 different provinces across Turkey. The 54.4% (129) of the participants are female and 45.6% (108) are male with their ages ranging between 19 and 57. The data was analyzed using stepwise regression technique. The results show that in order of importance participants’ depression and anxiety levels, educational level and the measures they took against COVID-19 meaningfully predict psychological resilience levels. The given variables explain 32% of the participants’ psychological resilience levels. The participants with low levels of depression and anxiety, and who were university graduates and took strict measures against COVID-19 were found to have higher levels of psychological resilience. Psychological resilience is understood to play an influence in preventing mental health problems such as depression and anxiety during the pandemic. It is believed that well-educated individuals who took precautions against the COVID-19 virus felt safe and therefore had higher levels of psychological resilience.
