【 摘 要 】

The concern of this study was to determine the current state of psychological wellbeing of unemployed distinction graduates in Nigeria and some of the factors that contributed to their wellbeing. The results revealed that the psycho-logical wellbeing of unemployed distinction graduates was moderately high and positive. The collective impact of the factors yielded a coefficient R = 0.497 and R2 = 0.247 variance in the prediction of a positive state of psychological wellbeing. Further, the contribution of resilience was the highest at 26.6% (β = .266, t=2.428; p<0.05); followed by religiosity 17.5% (β = .175, t= 1.266; p<0.05); openness 16.1% (β = .161, t=1.476; p<0.05); agreeability 15.9% (β = .159, t=1.495; p<0.05) and neuroticism 12% (β = .120, t=864; p<0.05) towards their positive psychological wellbeing.
