It has known that during the long lasting life changing stress periods that include negative experiences, “well-being” levels of the people decrease. Therefore, the examination of the participants’ life satisfaction and depression levels according to certain factors during Covid-19 pandemic was targeted in this study. Data of the presented study was collected via “Life Satisfaction Scale”, “CES depression Scale” and “Information Form”. The number of the volunteered participants were 317 individual (162 women). Depression levels of the participants correlated negatively with life satisfaction and income. Group with higher income differed with lower depression. “Working online” during pandemic associated with lower depression and higher life satisfaction. The participants with better social support differed with higher life satisfaction. According to the results it can also be said that certain variables as perceived “good” socio economic status (as job situation and income level), are associated with lower depression and higher life satisfaction levels. As it is supported in the related literature, it is obvious that these mentioned (interpersonal and intrapersonal) variables are associated with psychological well-being of the individuals. The results points out that despite of the unavoidable difficult periods that affects everyone, certain factors could have protective potential in terms of psychological health. Therefore, it is possible to say that the results are important regarding future community based protective intervention plans and future studies
