Wisdom, well-being, and resilience are essential for individuals to effectively cope with life's adversities. This study aims to examine the relationship between wisdom, well-being, and resilience within a sample of 223 participants (60 males and 163 females) aged between 18 and 65 years. Moreover, gender, age, and marital status were examined in relation to the three variables. The study utilized the San Diego Wisdom Scale, the World Health Organization-5 Well-Being Index, and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale for data collection. Pearson correlation, t-test and Chi-square analyses were employed to analyze the obtained results. The study findings revealed a significant positive correlation between wisdom and resilience, psychological well-being and resilience, and well-being and age. No correlation was observed between wisdom and well-being and wisdom and age. Males demonstrated having higher psychological well-being, while females reported higher wisdom than males. Furthermore, compared to unmarried individuals, married ones had higher psychological well-being.
