abstract="Previous research has found that hardiness is associated with greater psychological well-being and lower levels of stress. This study examined the role of hardiness in the psychological well-being of military officer candidates undergoing basic training. Although most researchers have conceptualized hardiness as a global psychological construct, it is possible that military-specific hardiness, which pertains specifically to work experiences in the military environment, may be a more relevant measure. The role of both general and military-specific hardiness in life satisfaction, health symptoms, training satisfaction, and training stress was examined. The results of this study were consistent with those of previous research, suggesting that military-specific hardiness is an important predictor of psychological well-being of military personnel. Furthermore, military-specific hardiness served as a better predictor of the psychological well-being of military personnel than general hardiness. The implications of the findings and future research suggestions are discussed.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
