        abstract = {Academic achievement plays a crucial role in shaping students' future opportunities and career trajectories. Various psychological, environmental, and socio-cultural factors contribute to academic success, with psychological hardiness emerging as a significant determinant of students’ resilience against academic stress. This study examines the relationship between psychological hardiness and academic achievement among higher secondary school students in District Poonch. A quantitative correlational research design was used, with data collected from 96 students (48 males, 48 females) through the Psychological Hardiness Scale (Nowack, 1990). Pearson’s Product-Moment Correlation analysis revealed a strong positive correlation between psychological hardiness and academic achievement among male students (r = 0.83, p < 0.01), while no significant correlation was found for female students (r = 0.18, p > 0.05). These findings suggest that while psychological hardiness may enhance academic performance in male students, additional socio-cultural and environmental factors may influence female students’ academic outcomes. This study highlights the importance of integrating psychological resilience programs in educational settings and suggests further research into gender-based differences in academic resilience.},
