Abstract :This study examines the mediating role of psychological resilience in the relationship between psychological counsellors’ use of coping humour and psychological well-being through structural equation modelling. Research participants are constituted of 228 psychological counsellors between the age of 23 and 52, among which 130 are female and 98 are male. Data is collected through the scales of Coping Humour, Psychological Well-Being, and Psychological Resilience. Data is analysed through t-test, Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation modelling. Findings demonstrate that there are positively significant differences between coping humour, psychological well-being, and psychological resilience. Moreover, coping humour significantly predicts psychological well-being in a positive direction whilst psychological well-being remains to be a partial mediating variable in this relationship. Findings show that the conceptual model developed for relationships between coping humour, psychological well-being, and psychological resilience is statistically supported.
