Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate relationships between forgiveness and hardiness with students hope. In this descriptive- correlational study, a total of 120 (Male=60, Female= 60) undergraduate students from 6400 students of the University of Mohaghegh Ardabili were selected using multistage cluster sampling they participated in the study on the basis of their completion of Schnieder's hope scale (α=0.79), Ahvaz's hardiness scale (α=0.77), and Walker's forgiveness scale (α=0.71). The data collected from the sample were put into SPSS and were analysed using statistical methods, correlation and multipleregression. Results revealed that hope positively correlated with hardiness (r=0.51) and with forgiveness (r=0.53) and hardiness positively correlated with forgiveness (r=0.46). Also, hardiness and forgiveness predicted the changes related to the hope positively and significantly (P < 0.001, R2=0.37). The findings indicated that both forgiveness and hardiness have more important roles on the hope of the students. So Forgivenes s and hardiness can contribute to the prediction of hope on the part of the students.
