%X this study examined the role of hardiness and perceived social support in the relationship between physical symptoms and perceived stress, measuring these variables with the help of self-report questionnaires in a sample of 102 college students. we found that the number of symptoms was significantly related to perceived stress. health-related hardiness, in its aspect of commitment/challenge and, to an even greater extent, absence of alienation, showed a protective effect against the impact of physical symptoms and illnesses upon perceived stress. these results support not only the validity of the scale employed to measure health-related hardiness, but also the importance of the concept for health psychology.
