Abstract

The aim of the research was to identify the features of explicit and implicit assessments of hardiness and its components obtained for participants whose occupations are associated with risk: security guards, long-distance lorry drivers, footballers from one of the top football league teams; participants with occupations associated with unconditional execution of orders. Measurements were made using specially designed four modifications of the classical IAT and the self-report procedure Bartone’s Dispositional Resilience Scale. The study showed that there are differences in implicit and explicit attitudes towards hardiness and its components in groups of participants from different occupations: most guards and long-distance lorry drivers revealed a negative implicit challenge; the majority of ‘soldiers’ were found to have negative attitudes towards the commitment. The vast majority of long-distance lorry drivers showed matches of the measurements results. The independence of implicit and explicit ‘overall’ attitudes toward hardiness, and their content, is also shown.
