Objective: The present study was conducted to investigate psychological hardiness based on perfectionism and body image among adolescent girls.
Methods: This research employed a descriptive-correlational design. The statistical population included all female high school students (second cycle) in Kahnouj city during the 2023–2024 academic year. A multi-stage cluster random sampling method was used to select participants. The data collection instruments included the Psychological Hardiness Scale (Kloh et al., 2012), the Perfectionism Questionnaire (Terry-Short et al., 2010), and the Body Image Questionnaire (Cash, 2015). Data were analyzed using simultaneous regression analysis in SPSS version 27.
Results: The findings revealed that perfectionism negatively and significantly predicted psychological hardiness (p < 0.05), while body image positively and significantly predicted psychological hardiness (p < 0.05).
Conclusions: The results suggest that perfectionism reduces, while a positive body image enhances, psychological hardiness in adolescent girls. Psychologists, school administrators, and teachers can apply these findings to improve the psychological resilience of adolescent girls.
