In this video I describe traits and techniques associated with coping with stressors. Susanne Kobasa identified commitment, challenge, and control as important factors in understanding hardiness and people who were able to thrive in stressful circumstances. Resilience in the face of adversity also relates to post-traumatic growth, in which people feel that they have been strengthened as a result of grappling with a stressful situation. I also describe three techniques for increasing hardiness: reappraisal, focusing, and compensatory self-improvement.
