This study aimed to identify the contribution of demographic variables: (Age, place of residence,, duration of marriage, number of children, and the level of education of both husband and wife), in predicting psychological hardiness upon divorced women. The sample consisted of (70) divorced women, from Assiut and Cairo: (33) rural, and (37) urban, their ages ranged between (20-53) years, with an average of (36,83, SD. 7,51) years, the duration of marriage ranged between (1-30) years, with an average of (7,03 SD. 6.19) years. The psychological hardiness scale (prep.: Imad Mekhaimer),was applied to them.
