Abstract: Abstract Individuals may experience psychological distress and feel trapped as a result of adversity in their lives. Individuals may regret their decisions, which may worsen the situation. Individuals must be more resilient in order to survive and adapt to these conditions. The goal of this study was to see if psychological resilience and regret could mediate the relationship between psychological distress and entrapment. The relationships between these variables have never been examined before, and they are addressed for the first time in the current study. Data were gathered through the voluntary participation of 94 male and 243 female university students. Structural Equation Modeling was used to conduct mediation analysis. According to the findings, psychological resilience and regret played a similar mediating role between psychological distress and entrapment. According to the model, psychological distress predicted entrapment and regret positively, but psychological resilience negatively. Individuals experiencing psychological distress are not resilient and experience regret, which may make them more resistant to feelings of entrapment and risks such as suicide.
