In previous research, hardiness has been shown to be positively related
to good performance, well-being, and sense of fulfillment. The relevant samples
have included college students, working adults, and military and safety
personnel. The present study expands this pattern, by showing that hardiness is
negatively related to gambling behavior. In this context, gambling behavior is
considered an example of avoidance (rather than problem-solving) coping with
the ongoing stresses of living.
