The results indicated that resilience had a positive and significant effect on self-esteem, and self-esteem had a positive and significant effect on psychological well-being. Furthermore, self-esteem was found to serve as a significant full mediator in the relationship between resilience and psychological well-being, with an indirect effect size of 42.5%.
