Abstract:

This paper presents a short, 15-item scale for measuring personality hardiness. Personality hardiness has been found to be a stresshealth moderator in a wide range of studies. Still, there are problems with its measurement. The present 15-item scale has excellent psychometric properties, and has demonstrated validity with several samples including soldiers exposed to combat stressors, and Army Special Forces candidates.
