The aim of this study was to examine and compare the degree of hardiness in students of psychology, teaching, and non-teaching pedagogy depending on their age and field of study. Quantitative research was carried out in the form of a questionnaire survey using the Personal View Survey research tool. 260 students of the combined form of study took part in the research survey. One-factor ANOVA and Post-hoc tests showed significant differences. The highest level of hardiness was observed in students aged 31–40 years. No difference was found between the youngest and the oldest age cohort. From the point of view of the field of study students of psychology have significantly higher mental resilience than students of pedagogical fields. The degree of hardiness in students of teaching and students of non-teaching pedagogy is without major differences.
