The sample for this research consisted of 84 active students with disabilities including deaf, physically disabled, blind, retardation mental, cerebral palsy, mild autism, etc. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. The scale of the Gratitude Questionnaire for Six Item Form (GQ-6) consisting of 6 items, the Life Satisfaction Scale consisting of 5 items, and the Short Hardiness scale consisting of 30 items was given to the participants of the research. This research uses a quantitative method, the analysis test uses statistical techniques with the MRA test (Moderated Regression Analysis), using the help of SPSS 23. The results of our research indicate that there is a significant positive effect of gratitude on life satisfaction. The role of hardiness as a moderating variable does not strengthen the effect of gratitude on life satisfaction. So that hardiness cannot be used as a moderating variable between gratitude towards life satisfaction.
