Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediation effects of self-esteem on the relationship between meaning in life and resilience in middle-aged adults. The data were collected from May to June 2019 by giving a questionnaire to 148 middle-aged adults between the ages of 45-64 years. The research tools were meaning in life, self-esteem, and resilience. The data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple linear regression using the SPSS/WIN 21.0 program. The result showed that the difference in resilience relating to general characteristics were significant age, religion, and health. There were significant positive correlations among meaning in life, self-esteem, and resilience. Self-esteem had a mediating effect on the relationship between meaning in life and resilience. Based on the findings of this study, in order to strengthen the resilience of middle-aged adults, it is necessary to develop a program that promotes self-esteem as well as meaning in life. This will help them have a healthy middle age and improve their quality of life.
