Özet
Research indicates that when examining later adulthood well-being, it is essential to consider not only the absence of adverse childhood experiences but also the presence of positive ones. This research aims to examine the relationship between benevolent childhood experiences (BCEs), psychological resilience, and life satisfaction in young adults. We collected data from 446 participants from 21 universities across Turkey via online forms. Participants self-reported their BCEs, life satisfaction, and psychological resilience. Structural equation modeling is used to test the study hypotheses. Results indicate that resilience plays a mediating role in the relationship between BCEs and life satisfaction (indirect effect =.011, 95% CI [.0039,.0210]). Considering the findings, we recommend assessing BCEs and psychological resilience along with adverse childhood experiences to monitor later adulthood well-being in students.
