Abstract :
Objectives: The present research was conducted with the aim of explaining the model of the effect of tolerance of ambiguity on hope, with the mediating role of eudaimonic well-being in disabled athletes. Methods: The research method was based on the goal, applicability, and conducted using a descriptive-survey approach. The statistical population of this research comprised disabled athletes in Isfahan province, from whom 106 individuals were selected as the sample using the available method and responded to the questionnaires. To examine the relationships between model components and analyze the data, Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method was employed using SmartPLS version 3. Results: Based on the findings of this research, it can be concluded that hope in disabled athletes increases with higher ambiguity tolerance and eudaimonic well-being. Therefore, it is recommended to emphasize and teach eudaimonia in the community of disabled athletes, and by providing psychological-educational training in the area of tolerance of ambiguity, hope within this community can be enhanced.
