摘要
We examined the role of hardiness in predicting admission into Norwegian Military Officer Schools with data from officer applicants (N = 1,111) who completed a questionnaire containing dispositional hardiness measures (Bartone, 1995) on the first week of a three-week selection period. Successful applicants (M = 36.76) scored significantly higher in hardiness than unsuccessful applicants (M = 35.55, t[1091.44] = -4.64, p < .001, Cohen's d = .28). Furthermore, results of logistic regression analysis showed that, after controlling for gender, age, and social desirability responding, hardiness significantly predicted admission into Military Officer Schools (odds ratio = 1.065).
