The present study aimed to determine the mediating role of psychological resilience and hardiness in the relationship between attachment styles and the mental health of conflicting couples in Bandar Abbas. The present study method was descriptive-correlational using structural equation modeling. The statistical population of this study was all conflicting couples referring to counseling centers in Bandar Abbas in 2024. In this study, 270 people (135 couples) were selected using convenience sampling. The attachment questionnaire (RAAS; Collins & Reid, 1990), mental health questionnaire (MHC-SF; Keyes, 2002), resilience questionnaire (CD-RISC; Connor & Davidson, 2003), and hardiness questionnaire (PHQ; Kubasa, 1989) were used to collect data. The findings showed that the proposed model had a favorable fit and that resilience, psychological hardiness, and attachment styles had a direct effect on mental health (P<0.05); the results of the bootstrap test also showed that resilience and psychological hardiness played a mediating role in the relationship between attachment styles and the mental health of conflicting couples (P<0.001). The results of this study imply that attachment styles, resilience, and psychological hardiness, in a complex and multidimensional interaction, can predict the mental health of conflicting couples.
