| description | Future anxiety is the worry and concern individuals experience regarding uncertainties and potential negative outcomes in their future. This emotional state can manifest at different stages of students’ academic lives and can impact their academic performance and social relationships. In the process of coping with negative experiences and overcoming challenges, psychological resilience plays a crucial role. Students who struggle to manage stress and have high levels of anxiety tend to experience future anxiety more intensely. The aim of this study is to determine the mediating role of subjective well-being in the relationship between psychological resilience and future anxiety among university students. The study was conducted with a total of 483 university students, including 280 females and 203 males. Data were collected using the Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10), Subjective Well-Being Scale (SWB-7), and Future Anxiety (Dark Future) Scale (Short Form). Analyses were performed using AMOS 22.0 and SPSS 27.0 software. The findings indicate that psychological resilience has a significant negative effect on future anxiety, a significant positive effect on subjective well-being, and that subjective well-being has a significant negative effect on future anxiety. Additionally, the study found that subjective well-being mediates the relationship between psychological resilience and future anxiety. |
