According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), there are over 35,000,000 refugees, asylum seekers, and displaced and stateless people. All have been exposed to one or more horrific calamities such as rape, war, torture, political repression, ethnic cleansing, terrorism, abject poverty, famine, natural disasters, and genocide. Yet, many of these traumatized people appear to persevere through it all with an outstanding resilience, and, since many belong to strong faith communities or had highly religious backgrounds, it seems likely that they have had to struggle with issues of theodicy. Further research is needed in order to better understand the relationship of resilience and theodicy in the face of almost overwhelming hardship. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a relationship exists between theodicy, resiliency, and traumatic symptoms in a participant group of adult Iranian Muslim refugees. The study used quantitative regression and correlational analysis. Adult Iranian refugees (≥ 18 years of age) who are currently in Turkey were recruited. A demographic questionnaire and 3 measures were administered either in paper and pencil form or over the Internet via Qualtrics.com: (a) Theodicy Scale, (b) Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Checklist- Civilian Version (PCL-C), and (c) Connor Davidson Resiliency Scale (CD-RISC). All findings were reported in textual and tabular format. The results showed a significant positive correlation between theodicy and resilience in the Iranian refugees who participated.
