Resilience In the Pandemic: Exploring the Impact of COVID-19 Experiences on Life Satisfaction

This study investigates how resilience moderates the relationship between COVID-19 experiences and life satisfaction across different cultural contexts. Using surveys, we will collect data from adults in Finland, Poland, India, Japan, South Africa, and Germany to assess their pandemic-related disruptions, resilience, and overall life satisfaction. The hypothesis is that individuals with higher resilience will experience less negative impact on their life satisfaction due to the pandemic. The findings aim to enhance our understanding of resilience as a protective factor, contributing to strategies that bolster psychological well-being and social welfare during crises.
