Statistical methods including mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum variance of scores were used to display demographic characteristics of both groups. Covariance test has been used to compare status of groups with themselves before and after performing training classes and performing independent variables and comparing status of groups with each other before and after performing independent variable. Statistical analysis was made via software SPSS18. Experimental group received 3 months training during 10 sessions and control group received no training, that post-test was performed for both groups after ending the training program. The results obtained from covariance analysis indicated that hardiness training had a significant effect on life expectancy and perceived stress at p<0.01 in experimental group. It can be concluded that training hardiness affects improvement in perceived stress and increase in life expectancy.
