Considering the effects of the pandemic that can be called a challenging life event, the concept of psychological resilience comes to mind. In this study, the effect of multidimensional avoidance on the relationship between psychological resilience and psychological need satisfaction-frustration of adults is discussed through structural equation modeling. The study data were collected online from 506 adults who participated voluntarily from 7 different geographical regions of Turkey. The study findings were obtained by using correlation analysis, structural equation modeling, and path analysis. As a result of the study, it is seen that all the variables of multidimensional avoidance except distraction/suppression and frustration directly affect psychological resilience in satisfaction and frustration of basic psychological needs. In addition, it shows that psychological resilience has a significant effect on satisfaction and frustration of basic psychological needs, both directly and indirectly through multidimensional avoidance.en10.1007/s12144-022-03085-zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCovid-19 Pandemic; Psychological Resilience; Psychological Need Satisfaction-Frustration; Multidimensional Avoidance; Structural Equation ModelingEmotion Regulation; HealthArticle356076442-s2.0-85130307116WOS:000797314700001Q2Q2
