- The hardy personality (Kobasa)
- the stress scores of 800 business executives were determined using Holmes and Rahe's SRRS
- hardiness was assessed using a hardiness test
- Kobasa found that 150 of the executives were experiencing high levels of stress
- however, these individuals differed in their illness record over the same period
- those with low levels of illness were more likely to have scored high on all three characteristics of the hardy personality and vice versa
- Maddi et al.
- measured hardiness in employees of a company that was dramatically reducing its workforce over 1 yr
- they found that two-thirds suffered stress-related illness over the year
- but the other third thrived, showing evidence of the 3 components of the hardy personality
- the stress scores of 800 business executives were determined using Holmes and Rahe's SRRS
