Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine factors that may enhance people’s well-being--specifically, social support, hope and meaning in life, and resilience. 91 participants completed self-report measures assessing perceived social support, hope and meaning in life, resilience, and well-being. Participants who reported higher levels of perceived social support, and hope and meaning in life reported higher levels of well-being. Also, people who reported higher levels of social support or hope and meaning in life reported more resilience, and this increased resilience predicted higher levels of well-being.
