  • Weaknesses
    -Kosaba's research was mainly done on wealthy managers so results can't be generalised to other professions.
    -Ethical issues in conducting research that subjects PP to dangerous levels of stress so most research is concentrated on stress that occurs in natural situations.
    -Hardiness doesn't exist. Funk et al believes low hardiness score means a person is negative and it's that which causes the stress.
  • Strengths
    +Practical applications: hardiness training has show to have successful treatments.
