Psychological Resilience, Stress Coping Strategies and Mental Well-Being Among Malaysian Juveniles

The study is to determine the psychological resilience as a mediating factor between stress coping strategies and mental well-being among Malaysian juveniles. The research samples comprised juveniles in Malaysia Henry Gurney School at Melaka, Sabah, and Sarawak. Based on previous literature and underpinning models and theory, this study proposed a framework relating to mental well-being. Subsequently, the independent variables, namely stress coping strategies, were employed, followed by a mediating variable, psychological resilience. Accordingly, these variables are associated with positive or negative mental well-being. Four hypotheses were eventually proposed based on the outlined conceptual framework.
