The current study aimed to identify the level of academic hardiness and academic stress among Hashemite University students and identify whether there were statistically significant differences in the level of academic hardiness and academic stress due to gender, academic specialization, and academic level variables. The study also aimed to examine the relationship between academic hardiness, academic stress, and academic achievement. The academic hardiness scale and academic stress scale were used to collect data. The sample of the study consisted of 804 male and female students at Hashemite University. The results of the study showed that the academic hardiness was moderate, there were no statistically significant differences in the level of academic hardiness due to the gender variable, there are statistically significant differences in the level of academic hardiness due to the academic specialization variable, in favor of students of the scientific college, and there are statistically significant differences in the level of academic hardiness due to the academic level variable, as well as the level of academic hardiness, in favor of first-year students. The results of the study also showed no statistically significant differences in the level of academic stress due to the gender, academic specialization, and academic level variables. In contrast, results showed a positive and statistically significant correlation between academic hardiness and academic achievement and a negative and statistically significant correlation between academic hardiness and academic stress.References
