The psychology of talent development in Paralympic sport: The role of personality
Nima Dehghansai, Ross A. Pinder, Joe Baker in Talent Development in Paralympic Sport: Researcher and practitioner perspectives, 2023
In the next section we focus specifically on three PTLIDs: hardiness, grit, and resilience. Hardiness is defined by feelings of internal control, having a purpose, or meaning in life, and perceiving life difficulties as challenges rather than problems (Martin et al., in press). In non-disabled sport, hardiness is related to success (Golby & Sheard, 2004; Johnsen et. al., 2013), sport engagement (Lonsdale et al., 2007), and subjective well-being (Oliver, 2009). Hardiness is also thought to promote life satisfaction (Pavot & Diener, 1993). Athletes high in hardiness experience satisfaction in their lives because of the three factors constituting hardiness. For example, a person who perceives that her life has a purpose and meaning will more likely feel life satisfaction compared to someone who lacks these life perspectives. Similarly, individuals who feel in control of their life and are aware that their actions and decisions make a difference in their lives, are more likely to feel satisfied than people who lack control. Also being able to view setbacks as opportunities to grow and learn rather than viewing setbacks as difficulties can increase life satisfaction. Hence all three factors constituting hardiness are relevant in promoting behaviors, cognitions, and affect that results in life satisfaction (Martin et al., 2015; Martin et al., 2020).

Hardiness is a personality that provides stamina to withstand stress (Weinberg and Gould 2011), and to actively engage in adaptive coping strategies (Quick et al. 2013). Landy and Conte (2006) described that hardy individuals possess three characteristics: they feel they are in control of their lives (having an internal locus of control)they have a sense of commitment to their family, work goals and valuesthey perceive unexpected change as a challenge rather than an obstacle.
Psychological issues and dying
Ad (Sandy) Macleod, Ian Maddocks in The Psychiatry of Palliative Medicine, 2018
Compassion (the work of healing and assisting) fatigues, life outside of work is packed with life events, and collegial relationships are rarely always smooth. Though increasingly medicolegally high risk, and tiresomely bureaucratic, medicine remains a fascinating and usually rewarding occupation (or vocation). Losing control of workload and professional autonomy, challenged by managerial interference, are the most irritating and destructive aspects of the modern consultant’s job. These stressors are more prone to inducing burnout than clinical issues and demands. Hardiness is a valuable personality characteristic and a necessary professional attribute.51 Self-awareness and self-care are practices mitigating against burnout.52 In palliative care practice patients die, mutidisciplinary teams fight, and each day distraught patients and families require empathy and understanding. Caregiving is demanding. Working within personal and professional boundaries is protective and preserving of the practitioner. No one is immune to burnout, but neither should it be expected or anticipated because one works with the dying. Rates of burnout in palliative care, possibly about 25%, are lower than in other specialty areas.53 This is probably due to the higher profile of this consequence of dedication to work in palliative care.

A second avenue for taking action could target methods for building resilience. Assessment and training in hardiness is especially relevant in the educational context, for students and teachers alike (Maddi, 2017). Our study pointed out the importance of resilience as a personal factor. Resilience was found here to have an effect on adaptation whenever need satisfaction played a mediating role. Resilience should be studied as a process that maintains worker well-being by continually integrating resources and constraints related to both the individual and the outside world. Finally, better teacher adjustment enhances students’ well-being and increases their chances of academic success, as shown in the study by Guo, Liu, Zhao, and Wang (2019), where positive teaching behaviors induced adolescent well-being by increasing goal planning, affect control, and help-seeking behavior, and decreased depression.

Psychological hardiness is related to many health benefits.25,26,29,30 Furthermore, research has suggested that evaluating hardiness within the context of vulnerability can increase the construct’s assessment utility.10,11,14 As a brief assessment tool, researchers, counselors, and administrations can readily deploy this scale quickly and with confidence for the purposes of general assessment, intervention effectiveness, and evaluating campus climates. Furthermore, we provide evidence that a psychological hardiness and vulnerability are intertwined domains and should be measured in parallel when evaluating downstream or concurrent impacts of the phenomena.

Moreover, current resilience measures tap into seemingly similar yet theoretically distinct constructs. For example, some resilience measures have varying degrees of overlap with psychological hardiness, a related but distinct personality trait (Grossman, 2014). Hardiness is defined as a stable personality trait and consists of three dimensions – commitment, control, and challenge (Eschleman, Bowling, & Alarcon, 2010; Windle, 2011). Pangallo et al. (2015) showed that four existing resilience scales either empirically or conceptually overlap with hardiness. The widely adopted CD-RISC was reported to be highly correlated with hardiness, r = .83; the Resilience Scale (Wagnild & Young, 1993), Resilience Scale for Adults (Friborg et al., 2003), and Resilience in Midlife Scale (Ryan & Caltabiano, 2009) were considered to tap into one of the three dimensions of hardiness (i.e., commitment). For theoretical development and use in applied settings, it is vital that resilience researchers develop better-validated measures that are able to distinguish resilience from hardiness.
