Life satisfaction is one of the fundamental qualities that individuals must have to reach happiness in life and live a meaningful life. The concept of life satisfaction, which constitutes the cognitive aspect of subjective well-being, includes the individual's cognitive assessments. In this context, it can be said that many factors affect this concept. The main purpose of this research included the examination of the mediating role of resilience in the relationship between life satisfaction and daily hassles in university students. Another aim was to investigate the relationship between the variables of life satisfaction, resilience, and daily hassles. Correlational survey and causal-comparative models were utilized in this quantitative research. The sample group of the research consisted of 712 university students. Data were collected using the Satisfaction with Life Scale, the Daily Hassles Scale, and the Resilience Scale for Adults. Descriptive data analysis techniques, Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation Coefficient for independent groups, and path analysis were used to analyze the study data. According to the results of the correlation analysis, there was a negative relationship between daily hassles and life satisfaction, a negative relationship between daily hassles and resilience, and a positive relationship between resilience and life satisfaction. Finally, it was concluded that resilience had a significant mediating role in the relationship between life satisfaction and daily hassles. The findings obtained in this research were interpreted and discussed in light of the relevant literature.
