Abstract
The main goal of the current research is to determine the fit of the causal model of psychological well-being based on resilience and self-expression with the mediation of interpersonal skills and mindfulness. The statistical population of the research included the students of different levels of psychology in North Tehran and East Tehran units of Tehran Azad University in the academic year 1401-1402, and a sample of 495 students was selected by random sampling method. 18-question psychological well-being standard questionnaires of Riff (1989), 25-questions of Connor and Davidson's resilience (2005) (CD-RIS) and 15-questions of Mattson's interpersonal communication skills (1983) were used. The results of the research showed that resilience has a significant and direct effect on psychological well-being with an impact coefficient (0.497). Also, resilience has an indirect effect on psychological well-being through the mediation of interpersonal skills (P<05). It can be concluded that the increase of individual skills and resilience leads to the promotion of psychological well-being of students, so universities should work more on the development of resilience and interpersonal skills.
