Basic objective of this research was to find out the relationship<br>between happiness, life satisfaction and resilience, further to investigate<br>the level of resilience, happiness and life satisfaction among male and<br>female students. Disproportionate stratified sampling technique was used<br>to select 400 university students (male=200, female=200) from the<br>universities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad. The study was conducted in<br>two phases. In phase-I pilot study was conducted and in phase-II main<br>study was administered. The data for the study was collected through<br>stratified random sampling technique and three reliable instrument used<br>were; Oxford Happiness Scale (1990), Life satisfaction scale (1985) and<br>Resilience Scale (1993). Data was analyzed using statistical techniques<br>like Pearson correlation; Independent sample t-test was used. Results of<br>the study indicated a significant inverse relationship between the<br>variables of resilience and happiness (r=-.472**) where female students<br>were happier than male students (M + SD= 109.8442 + 15.45855) and a<br>significant inverse relationship between life satisfaction and resilience<br>(r=-.112*<br>) among male and female university students. The results also<br>indicated that females are more satisfied with life than males (M + SD=<br>23.3810 + 5.64858). It was also found that there were significant gender<br>differences in university student’s scores on resilience scale (M + SD=<br>79.4201 + 26.55817). Males were found to be more resilient than<br>females. The findings of the present study have implications for students’<br>counseling, awareness and therapy. It was recommended that the training<br>of the students should also be done so that they deal with life events and<br>circumstances effectively while maintaining their psychological health.</p>}, number={2}, journal={PJE}, author={Fauzia Malik, Saima Sajjad}, year={2023}, month={Apr.} }
