Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused rapid changes in daily lives around the world. Aside from the adverse effects on mental health, the challenges posed by the pandemic could be an opportunity for personal growth and development. A study was conducted to determine the contribution of emotional intelligence, resilience, perception of the meaning of personal experience about the pandemic, and two aspects of solidarity during a pandemic to well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data were collected online (April 2020 - January 2021). There were 509 participants (70.5% women, 29.5% men) aged 18 to 75 (M = 35.04, SD = 12.68) from the territory of the Republic of Croatia. Participants rated their well-being relatively high. Hierarchical regression analysis showed that the education level, emotional intelligence, resilience, satisfaction with solidarity in society and perception of the meaning of personal experience during a pandemic significantly predicted well-being. A total of 24.8% of the variance in well-being was explained by the set of predictors, but further research is needed understand the mechanisms behind the association between these variables and well-being.
