Examining the influence of Gratitude and Resilience on the Subjective Well- being among Young Adults in Delhi NCR.

Abstract

The study examines the impact of gratitude and resilience on the subjective well-being of young adults (18-24) in Delhi NCR. Gratitude and resilience are recognized as pivotal elements contributing to subjective well-being, especially during the transitional phase of emerging adulthood, facilitating the development of positive psychological functioning, adaptive coping mechanisms, and emotional resilience. A sample of 150 young adults (18-24) from Delhi NCR participated in this research. Participants completed self-report assessments utilizing the Gratitude Questionnaire-6 (GQ-6), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-25), and Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) to measure gratitude, resilience, and subjective well-being. The results indicated that both gratitude and resilience have a moderate impact on subjective well-being, enriching the existing literature on positive psychology and well-being by elucidating the factors that foster subjective well-being among young adults in urban settings. These findings carry implications for interventions and initiatives aimed at bolstering well-being and resilience in this demographic, providing valuable insights for mental health practitioners, educators, and policymakers in Delhi NCR and beyond.
