Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the direction and strength of the relationship between the personality trait of hardiness and the practice of health-promoting behaviors. The literature review covers the background of definitive research dealing with the concepts of hardiness and health promotion. A sample population (n=66) was drawn from teachers of a local school district. The volunteer subjects were asked to complete the Health-Related Hardiness Scale and the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile. Paired scores from these instruments were then analyzed using the Pearson r correlation technique. The result of this correlation (r= 0.481) is significant at the .05 level.
