The Data analysis was completed using (ANCOVA) and (MANCOVA). Results showed statistically significant differences at level of (α = 0.05) between the experimental and control groups in regards to the average performance of the members of each group on the post psychological Hardness measurement, these differences are attributed to the counselling program and in favour of the members of the experimental group. Furthermore. The results of the study also showed that there are no statistically significant differences at the level (α = 0.05) between pre and post measurement levels on the dimensions and the total degree of psychological Hardness scale Notably, this indicates the continuity of the effectiveness of counselling program.
