        The aim of the present study was to investigate the interrelations among hardiness and attributional styles in predicting coping strategies and mental health. Participants were 361 (195 males, 166 females) college students aged 19 to 49(M age=26.81 years, SD=6.42). Main results were as follows;(a) Hardiness and optimistic attributional style were significant predictors of mental health (b) Hardiness and attributional styles explained significant proportion of variance in problem focused coping, and semipartial correlations have shown that optimistic attributional style is more important predictor of intensity of problem focused coping comparing with the two other variables (hardiness and pessimistic attributional style); (c) Pessimistic attributional style and hardiness were contributed significantly to the prediction of emotion focused coping. In this study, optimistic attributional style did not show any significant contribution to the prediction of emotion focused coping. The findings have implications for all professionals and scholars interested in stress reduction and mental health enhancment among college student population. Manuscript profile
