Abstract

The present research was conducted with the aim of designing a model of structural relationships of psychological well-being based on personal resilience and social intelligence with the mediation of mental rumination. The current research was carried out using the descriptive-correlation method (structural equations). all students studying at Mohaghegh Ardabili University (N=7000) in the second half of the academic year of 2022-2023 formed the statistical population of the present study. 271 (94 boys and 177 girls) of these people were selected by available sampling. and they answered psychological well-being, resilience(CD‐RISC), social intelligence(TSIS) and mental rumination(RS) questionnaires. Using smart pls-3 software, the obtained data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results of the structural equation model showed that personal resilience and social intelligence have a direct relationship with psychological well-being; besides, personal resilience and social intelligence have an indirect relationship with the mediation of mental rumination. The forthcoming model had a good fit. According to the general results of the research. It is suggested to hold educational workshops in the field of awareness among students to improve resilience and social intelligence, thereby increasing the level of psychological well-being and reducing the level of mental rumination.
