The present study explored to study whether positive psychology constructs which comprise of hope, optimism, resilience and self-efficacy, have any relationship with subjective well-being and its dimensions of life satisfaction, positive affect and negative affect. Looking at vast number of researches over time, it has been studied that various researches have mainly highlighted the negative aspects of life, scarce researches have emphasized how our own human attributes can be beneficial for us to uplift our moods, increase our happiness and imbibe in us more positivity. The results have clearly shown strong relation between positive psychology constructs and subjective well being, therefore these findings can be used by clinicians to highlight its importance to the clients and work on activities that can have greater impact on their subjective well being.
