Purpose: The aim of the present study was to predict the quality of life of Iranian refugees based on psychological hardiness and perceived social support through hopeful mediation.Methodology: The research method of correlation is structural equation modeling. The population of the study was all Iranian refugees residing in German refugee camps. 200 people were selected from among them and the research questionnaires were administered to them. The instruments used in this study were World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale (1996) Hope Schneider et al (1991) questionnaire, Kobasa et al. (1979) psychological hardiness questionnaire, and Zimet et al. (1988) Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Questionnaire. Depending on the level of measurement of the data and statistical assumptions, the path analysis method was used to analyze the data.Findings: The results of statistical analysis showed that psychological hardiness and perceived social support had a direct effect on hope. Hope-related relationship with quality of life was positively significant. The indirect effect of psychological hardiness on quality of life through hope was significant. The indirect effect of perceived social support on quality of life through hope was also significant(p <0.05).Conclusion: Psychological stubbornness and perceived social support can predict quality of life. Hope also plays an important role in predicting quality of life.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of parents 'warmth in students' hopes in the form of structural equations. In a correlational design, 248 female students from Ferdowsi University of Mashhad were selected by multistage sampling method and completed Perceptions of parents Scale (Robbins, 1994) and Hope scale (Snyder and et.al., 1991). The results showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between the warmth of the parents and the students' hope and parents `s warmth explains 19 percent of hope change. Warmth`s indirect effects on agency and path ways were also positive and significant. The structural model has a good fit. It seems that the warm and receptive behavior of parents can increase the life expectancy of students.
