Hardiness training facilitates performance in college (2009, background): “Although these later measures still correlate negatively with indices of negative affectivity, the magnitudes are lower, and many findings showing their construct validity as measures of existential courage are available (e.g., Maddi, 2002, 2004).”

Personality and Pathways of Influence on Physical Health (2011, background): “Hardiness, characterized by control, commitment, and challenge, likewise has been linked to more adaptive coping styles, better social relationships, and fewer symptom reports (Maddi, 2002), but here again there are inconsistencies in measurement and under-specified causal models (Ouellette & DiPlac”
Does meaning‐making help during organizational change? Development and validation of a new scale (2009, methodology): “Self-efficacy, optimism, perceived control or mastery are often used in studies (e.g. Luthans et al., 2004; Maddi, 2002; Wanberg and Banas, 2000).”
Hardiness: The courage to grow from stresses (2006, background): “…denying and avoiding, (b) interacting with others by giving and getting assistance and encouragement, rather than competition or overprotection, and (c) engaging in organismic self-care, rather than excessive or insufficient nutrition, exercise, and relaxation (Maddi, 2002; Weibe & McCallum, 1986).”

The influence of short-term adventure-based experiences on levels of resilience (2011, background): “Hardiness can be defined as a composite of interrelated attitudes that help in managing stressful circumstances by turning them into growth-inducing rather than debilitating experiences (Maddi, 2002).”
Adaptation (2012, unknown): “This concept was first proposed by Kobasa, who observed that individuals with high levels of hardiness are less prone to stress and view difficulties as manageable challenges (Maddi, 2002; Maddi, 2006).”
Perseverance Strategies for Enterprising Individuals (2012, background): “Thus, it is not concerned with trait-like constructs such as such as resilience (Block and Kremen, 1996), hardiness (Maddi, 2002), the need for achievement (McClelland, 1961), willpower (Goshal and Bruch, 2003), grit (Duckworth et al., 2007), self-esteem (DiPaula and Campbell, 2002), and the…”
Beyond Stress and Coping: The Positive Psychology of Transformation (2006, background): “Conceptually, hardiness is rooted in existentialism ( Maddi, 1978, 2002 ), which emphasizes that meaning can be achieved through the courage of making commitment and facing the challenge through one’s own resourcefulness.”
