Abstract

This study aimed to predict psychological hardiness based on happiness and religious commitment. The research method was descriptive-correlational. A sample of 114 young adults aged 18 to 34 from Qom Province was selected using convenience sampling. Participants completed the Ahvaz Psychological Hardiness Questionnaire, the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire, and the Janbozorgi Religious Commitment Scale. Pearson correlation and linear regression analyses were used to examine the research hypotheses. The findings revealed: (a) a significant positive correlation between psychological hardiness and happiness; (b) a significant positive correlation between psychological hardiness and religious commitment; (c) a significant positive correlation between happiness and religious commitment; and (d) path analysis results showed that psychological hardiness could be significantly predicted by both religious commitment and happiness. Together, these two predictor variables explained 46.4% of the variance in psychological hardiness among participants. These results suggest that promoting happiness and religious commitment in families, educational institutions, religious settings, and counseling centers may enhance individuals' psychological hardiness.
