Total health depends on other factors that are mental, emotional, and spiritual in nature. Although stress from any source affects the body, it’s not enough to be physically strong. Research shows that to be truly resistant to stress, it’s also important to be psychologically hardy. We owe much of our understanding of psychological hardiness to psychologist Suzanne Kobasa, PhD, who developed the concept almost four decades ago. Although high stress was generally regarded as leading to a high risk of illness, Kobasa conducted numerous studies in the late 1970s and early 1980s that showed this wasn’t always true. Some people did succumb to the negative effects of stress with a much higher incidence of illness, but others experienced equal amounts of stress and remained quite healthy. Kobasa found that those who avoided illness had a different way of dealing with stressful events than the subjects in her studies who became sick. She identified the following three characteristics—what she called the “three Cs” of psychological hardiness— that kept people well even when they were under great stress. They are: Commitment—People with hardy personalities have a deep commitment to their work and personal relationships, which they say gives them “meaning, direction, and excitement.” Such involvement supports them in solving their problems without letting stress disrupt their goals—and they have dedication to a task and the belief that is achievable. Control—They feel they can control problems either through their actions or through their attitude toward those events. They recognize what is beyond their control, and they don’t waste effort and angst trying to control those things. Challenge—They see stress or change as an inevitable part of life and more of a challenge or opportunity for growth than a threat. They aren’t frightened of change, but are willing to work through difficult circumstances and even look forward to the chance to think creatively to solve problems. In study after study, Kobasa found that individuals who possessed the three personality characteristics of commitment, control, and challenge remained in good health even when exposed to high levels of stress. In one study that tracked the health of 259 executives over five years, Kobasa found that managers who possessed high levels of the “three Cs” had half the incidence of illness of those who didn’t. In the end, keep reminding yourself that stress hardiness isn’t the avoidance of stress. It’s a positive response to stress and the ability to minimize its negative effects. Just as germs don’t always make us sick if we have strong immune systems, stress is far less likely to make us ill if we learn the secrets of how to make ourselves stress-hardy.
