This study aimed to determine the role of psychological hardiness and resilience for predicting the spiritual intelligence in a sample of the 200 female students in Ahvaz in 2014 who were selected from District 2 in Ahvaz in academic year of 2014–2015 using the convenience sampling. Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (2003), Psychological Hardiness of Ahvaz (1998), and Spiritual Intelligence Questionnaire by Abdollahzadeh (2008) were used for collecting data that each of them has acceptable reliability and validity. For data analysis, SPSS-18 software was used and results were reported in form of the descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multivariate linear regression. The results showed that there was a significant positive relationship between the psychological hardiness and resilience with the spiritual intelligence. Therefore, variables of psychological resilience and psychological hardiness affect the spiritual intelligence of the students.
