✨HARDINESS and STRESS✨
Hardiness is “a composite of the
interrelated attitudes of commitment,
control, and challenge that provides the
existential courage and motivation needed
to in turning stressful circumstances from
potential disasters into growth
opportunities.
It’s also a well-researched set of
personality characteristics that fall
outside the dimensions of Big 5
personality traits. There is some dispute
as to whether hardiness describes
personality characteristics that aren’t
described or captured in the Big 5, but
the research on its validity as a measure
of specific personality characteristics
and its ability to predict performance of
individuals in high stress environments
are not in dispute.
Those that display high levels of
hardiness perform better, are more
resistant to injury and illness, and
modulate physiological arousal more
effectively in stressful situations.
Simply put, hardiness acts as a
significant moderator or buffer of stress
which maintains and enhances health in
stressful circumstances.
✨The Three C’s✨
᛫᛬᛫Commitment᛫᛬᛫
An attitude that describes the tendency
of an individual to be deeply involved in
every aspect of their life, finding life and
the world interesting and meaningful.
Those high in commitment tend to
engage with every situation rather than
withdraw; even high stress experiences.
᛫᛬᛫Control᛫᛬᛫
An attitude that through their actions an
individual an influence the shape and
texture of their life and experiences.
They feel they can at least influence (if
not control) any situation, and don’t feel
powerless or helpless in high stress
situations.
᛫᛬᛫Challenge᛫᛬᛫
An attitude that challenge is something
that should be pursued and the easy
road is not the path of meaning and
fulfillment.
Individuals with this attitude seek out
difficulties instead of avoiding them and
enjoy the process of learning through
both good and bad experiences.
