Based on Krejcie and Morgan’s table, 180 students were selected by available sampling method completed Pargament et al.'s Religious Coping Questionnaire, Kiamarei et al.'s Psychological Hardiness Questionnaire, and Keyes and Magyar-Moe’s Social Well-being Subscale online. Pearson correlation test and multiple regression were used to analyze the data. In this study, all ethical considerations were observed and the authors reported no conflict of interests.
