Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kobasa's concept of hardiness includes three components: perceived control (believing one can influence the events in their life), commitment (a tendency to engage fully in activities in life), and viewing change as a challenge (seeing change as an opportunity rather than a threat). These factors are thought to help individuals cope with stress more effectively.
