The aim of the present research was to determine the relationship of resilience and perceived stress with life satisfaction in the students of success and failure. The research sample consisted of 120 who were selected from among the students of success and failure through the random sampling method. To collect the data, Resilience Scale, Perceived Stress Scale and Life Satisfaction Scale were used. The results showed that resilience and perceived positive stress are positively related to life satisfaction in the students of success and failure (P < 0.01). Also, perceived negative stress is negatively related to life satisfaction in the students of success and failure (P < 0.01). The result of multiple regression showed that psychological resilience and perceived stress explained 31 and 49 percent of variance of life satisfaction in the students of success and failure, respectively. The results that increase of resilience, and decrease of stress become more satisfied leads to more satisfaction causes they feel better and developed resources for living well.
