Relationship between Psychological Hardiness and Resilience with Mental Health in Athlete Students in the Guilan Unit of University of Applied Science and Technology
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between
psychological hardiness and resilience with mental health in athletic students
of Guilan Provincial University. This research is a correlation study and the population
includes all athletic students of Guilan Applied Science and Technology University.
Sampling was done randomly from among the climbers in Rasht city (61 people). We
used the Conner and Davidson Resource Scale(CD-RISC) questionnaire, Iran and
the Ahvaz Hardiness questionnaire and also GHQ questionnairefor
collecting information. There was a significant relationship between
psychological hardiness and resiliency with mental health (p < 0.01). Regarding the negative beta, with a higher resilience
score, the mental health score decreases. The lower score in the GHQ questionnaire
reflects more mental health. So, as much as the resilience increases, physical
symptoms, anxiety symptoms, social dysfunction and depression symptoms
decrease, and as a result, the level of mental health increases. Hardness
tolerance (T-score of 2/563 and P < 0.01) also indicates this variable can explain the research sample alongside the variable of mental health changes. Ultimately,
the higher the tenacity of a person, the mental health also increases. The
findings of this study showed the importance of psychological hardiness and
resiliency in maintaining and improving mental health of
