The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationships between self-esteem, social support, negative and positive emotions, resilience, positive religious beliefs and levels of dependency in low stratum older adults in the Colombian Atlantic coast. A non-experimental design of descriptive correlational and cross-sectional type was used for this study. The sample consisted of 115 non-institutionalized adults over 60 years of age from the low stratum of the Department of Córdoba, Colombia. The following scales were used as measurement instruments: CD-RISC 10 for resilience, HADS for anxiety and depression, DUKE-UNC for social support, RSE for self-esteem and R-COPE for positive religious coping. Results at the correlational level showed on the one hand that resilience and self-esteem had a positive correlation with social support and positive religious beliefs and on the other hand negative correlations between anxiety and depression with self-esteem and social support. In conclusion, in this sample of older adults there were good levels of positive emotions, low levels of negative emotions and low levels of positive emotions.
