The SSPS 21.0 (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) was used for the nalysis of the collected data. Pearson Moments Correlation, hierarchical regression analyze, and T- test was used to analyze data. As a result of the research it has been seen that there is a meaningful relationship among psychological hardiness, commitment, control, challenge and social interest. There was a positive relationship between the oldest and middle birth-order positions in psychological hardiness and social interest. There was a negative relationship between the middle birth-order and social interest. Social interest was a predictor of challenge, commitment, control.
