Abstract : The current study aimed at recognizing the relationship between psychological hardiness and social networking sites addiction among a sample of female adolescents in Jeddah, and recognizing their level of psychological hardiness and social networking sites addiction, exploring the predictability of social networking sites addiction through psychological hardiness, and exploring the differences in level of psychological hardiness and social networking sites addiction among the study sample individuals, according to (educational stage and academic average) variables, in addition to revealing the most used social networking application among the study sample. The study adopted the descriptive approach with its two correlational and comparative aspects. The sample of study consisted of (434) female students from both the preparatory and secondary stages. The researcher used the Psychological Hardiness Scale (Mikheimer, 2012), and the Social Networking Sites Addiction Scale (Andreassen et al., 2012) that was translated by (Jiradat & Ababina, 2020) as tools of study. The results indicated the existence of a negative correlation between psychological hardiness and social networking sites addiction, and the contribution of psychological hardiness to prediction of social networking sites addiction, as well as the existence of a high level of psychological hardiness among the study sample individuals, where the "commitment" dimension was the highest level among sample individuals. In contrast, there was a moderate level of social networking sites addiction, as the highest level was the "mood change" dimension. Moreover, the study concluded that there were no statistically significant differences in psychological hardiness according to the (educational stage and academic average) variables, and that there were no statistically significant differences in social networking sites addiction according to the (educational stage) variable, in addition to the existence of statistically significant differences in social networking sites addiction, according to the (academic average) variable. The study also revealed that the most used social networking application among the study sample individuals was "Tik Tok". Based on the results of the study, the researcher recommended attempting to launch awareness campaigns for female adolescents that aim to encourage them to responsible use of social networking sites and preparing educational programs directed to parents, concentrating on the importance of developing psychological hardiness of sons and daughters since early age.
