Abstract
This study aimed to predict mental vitality based on resilience with the mediation of moral intelligence of undergraduate students at Bu Ali University. The present research design was explanatory and correlational with the structural equation technique (regression). The statistical population studied was all undergraduate students at Bu Ali Sina University in Hamedan in the academic year 1402-03, numbering 6701 people. The statistical sample was selected using a stratified random method with students classified based on gender and faculty. The required data were collected using Ryan and Frederick's (1997) State Mental Vitality Questionnaire, Connor and Davidson's (2003) Resilience Questionnaire, and Lennick and Keel's (2011) Moral Intelligence Questionnaire and analyzed using the linear regression statistical method in the context of structural equation modeling and using SPSS and AMOS version 21 software.
Findings and Conclusion: The results of the research model estimation showed that resilience as a whole has a direct effect of 0.491 units in explaining the variance of the mental vitality variable (p<0.01). However, regarding the indirect effect of resilience on mental vitality through moral intelligence, the results showed that resilience through moral intelligence has a negative and significant effect of -0.192 units on mental vitality (p<0.05). Also, resilience has a direct effect of 0.68 units in explaining the variance of mental vitality and a direct effect of 0.71 units in explaining the variance of moral intelligence (p<0.01). Finally, moral intelligence has a negative and inverse effect of -0.270 units in explaining the variance of mental vitality (p<0.05).
