Summary:The study aimed to identify the level of Eudaimonic Well-Being (EWB) and its relationship with Post-Traumatic Stress Symptoms (PTSS) among refugees in Jordan. The study sample consisted of (176) male and female refugees from Noor AL Hussein Foundation beneficiaries in all locations. For the purpose of the study, the PTSS and EWB scales were developed, after the reliability and validity for both scales were assured. The results indicated that the level of EWB and PTSS among study members were moderate, and that all elements of EWB presence were negatively correlated with PTSS, also, the result revealed that males were significantly higher than females in EWB, and there were no statistically significant differences between males and females in PTSS. The results showed married individuals scored higher than divorced ones in EWB, while there were no significant differences between the single, married and divorced refugees in EWB.
