In this study, the predictive role of gender, age, employment status, perceived health level, perceived happiness level, self-confidence assessments, stressful life events and loneliness in resilience was investigated in Turkish adults. Participants consisted of 137 adult people (76 females, 61 males) aged between 18 and 39 (M = 24.89, SD = 5.06) who were selected through convenient sampling method. Participants completed the Personal Information Form prepared by the researchers, the Brief Psychological Resilience Scale developed by Smith et al. (2008) and adapted into Turkish by Doğan (2015), and the UCLA Loneliness Scale developed by Russell et al. (1978) and adapted into Turkish by Demir (1989). Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation analyses, standard multiple regression analysis, and relative importance analyses. Results of this study suggested that adults with high self-confidence and happiness levels as well as low levels of loneliness tend to have high psychological resilience levels. Results of relative importance analyses consistently indicated that loneliness was the most important predictor of psychological resilience in adults among the variables examined within the scope of this study. The results of this research can help to identify adults with low resilience at risk and to develop intervention programs to increase resilience levels in adults.
