This study explores the relationship between executive functions, positive psychology, and depression within the context of a positive neuropsychological framework. The participants comprised 286 university students (113 male and 173 female). The study utilized the Executive Function Index (EFI), Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), and Positive Psychology Scale for data collection. Research questions were addressed through the application of simple regression, Pearson correlation, and t-test methodologies. The study findings revealed that the EFI failed to predict positive psychology and depression. Conversely, positive psychology exhibited predictive capabilities for depression. Additionally, the results demonstrated a negative correlation between depression and positive psychology, depression and executive functions, as well as a positive correlation between positive psychology and executive functions. Furthermore, the study revealed that females exhibited higher levels of depression, while males exhibited higher levels of positive psychology.
