Studies on the Resilience of Citizens in the Context of Well-Being

Wellbeing is an indicator of the quality of life and depending on the duration and intensity of wellbeing we can characterize how our existence as human beings is of a better or less good quality. The COVID-19 pandemic has left everyone on the planet facing issues they've never faced before. We insist on the negative psychological implications. Well-beinghas been known since 1561 and means “the state of being happy, healthy or prosperous: WELL-BEING” (Merriam-Webster.comdictionary). SWB, in fact, is “a broad category of phenomena that includes people's emotional responses, domain satisfactions, and global judgments of life satisfaction” (Diener et al., 1999: p. 277). Specifically, the reported SWB consists of two distinct components (cf. Diener, 1994: p. 106): an affective part, which refers to both the presence of a positive affect (PA) and the absence of negative affect (NA), and a cognitive part (Diener, 2000, Subjective well-being: The science of happiness and a proposal for a national index, American Psychologist, 55(1), 34).
