Abstract

Hardiness is a psychological analogue of a person’s life core that reflects the extent of his/her overcoming of certain stress situations and adapting to given circumstances which components are related to the parameters of effective self-realization and personal subjective quality of life. American psychologists D. Kobasa and S. Muddi introduced the concept of hardiness for the first time and showed that this phenomenon consists of three components: commitment, control, and challenge. The article deals with the phenomenon of hardiness and its relationship with the value aspects of the personality. Hardiness is analyzed as the main resource of transforming life events into new opportunities in spite of external disadvantages. It has been determined that survival can be a factor of optimal self-realization and psychological quality of person’s life and a key personal variable that mediates the influence of stress factors on somatic health and on the success of the activity. Such understanding of the hardiness phenomenon extends the existing traditional idea, which mainly reduce it to the three-component structure and determine abilities to maintain health, optimal level of working efficiency and activity in stressful conditions. The most important psychological attribute of the hardiness phenomenon is its functioning as an open dynamic system based on self-organization and self-determination. The results of empirical studies of hardiness’ components, which are formed and developed as a holistic personality education are presented. It was performed a correlation analysis of hardiness components with important personality parameters such as: self-attitude and its components, components of psychological well-being and indicators of self-determination. Hardiness is considered as an adaptive mechanism of personality.
