<p>The aim of this research was to examine the psychological resilience and stress coping strategies of Karate athletes according to some demographic variables and to determine the relationship between them. A sample of 104 (54 females and 50 males, mean age 19.85±4.10 years) Karate athletes who trained in different sport clubs in Turkey were recruited. The <em>Brief Resilience Scale (BRS)</em> (Smith et al., 2008) and the <em>Stress Coping Scale (SCS)</em> (Sahin &amp; Durak, 1995) were used for data collection. Descriptive statistics, <em>t</em>-test and correlation analyses were used for data analysis. Participants’ psychological resilience was at mid-level, while the SCS <em>self-confident approach</em> and <em>seeking social support </em>sub-dimensions were at high and low level respectively. The athletes’ psychological resilience and stress coping strategies differed significantly according to gender. There was a positive and low significant correlation between experience and psychological resilience, in contrast a to negative and low significant correlation found between experience and <em>helpless</em> <em>approach</em> SCS sub-dimension. Middle and positive correlation was observed between age and psychological resilience. Finally, there were positive and middle significant correlations between psychological resilience and <em>self-confident</em> <em>approach</em> and <em>optimistic approach</em>, and a negative and middle significant correlation between psychological resilience and <em>helpless</em> <em>approach</em> SCS sub-dimensions.</p>
